Trump says ‘not going to stand’ for Netanyahu’s corruption trial • FRANCE 24 English
something is clearly uh coming to the four regarding prime minister netanyahu’s corruption trial which has been underway now for close to 5 years um and subject to many many delays some connected to the pandemic some to the war and many to the prime minister’s own demands so some background here is that the prime minister began his own testimony uh in the trial to his own defense uh just a few weeks ago and since then has been demanding more and more indulgences from the three judge panel um on just on thursday and friday in a 24-hour period he twice requested a two-week delay before trial resumes and was twice denied by the judge the judges that normally have acquiesed to every single request uh this time said no um he also requested shorter days of testimony this comes after three weeks of no testimony and now we have the prime min the president excuse me of the united states making for the first time not just a request to excuse prime minister netanyahu from this trial definitively to cancel his trial but a threat this is something that sounds like very close to a threat of extortion against the israeli authorities the president of the united states said “the united states spends billions of dollars a year far more than on any other nation protecting and supporting israel we are not going to stand for this.” and then he continues “let bb go he’s got a big job to do.” the understanding here in israel is a that the prime minister or people on his behalf are dictating the series of now three tweets from the president of the united states who displays an extraordinarily detailed knowledge of even you know small bits of testimony in this trial the other is this reflects the pri the prime minister’s hints in recent days that he needs to be free so as to complete his great life’s mission some sort of grand deal that he hints is being worked out that could end the war in gaza could bring regional peace to israel there are not many details of this but apparently he believes that his trial has to be completely suspended or cancelled in order for israel to move forward or perhaps in order for him to move forward our correspondent noa tarnapolski in jerusalem
President Donald Trump said Saturday the United States was “not going to stand” for the continued prosecution of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on corruption charges. “The United States of America spends Billions of Dollar a year, far more than on any other Nation, protecting and supporting Israel. We are not going to stand for this,” Trump posted on his Truth Social platform. FRANCE 24’s Noga Tarnopolsky reports.

Stump is used to living in a world where there's never any consequences.
Foreign interference, his hobby
People are getting emotional over nothing. Trump hates Bibi and is secretly hoping Bibi gets indicted. Always think the opposite of 90% of statements that come out of any politician’s mouth.
tRUMP is not just the King in the USA but he is aiming to be the Kind of the world.
Lol. Man who thinks he rules the world yet his own country is falling.
I think just give Netanyahu a chance to explain his alleged corruption in court.
immediately put him in prison if found guilty
These guys of Israeli's are also stressing the man amidst challenging times
It will take more than corruption charges to punish his crimes against Palestinians, and Gaza in particular; besides what sort of dignity and pride could be had when all they have been doing up to now is blowing up tents where children sleep:
And people though trump was Putin's puppet 😂
Really ?
Thank goodness there's no danger of the UN stopping either of them. It's a good thing the UN was formed to look out for the world.
Takes one to know one
Bibi is a hero. Leave him alone.
Trump needs to be impeached
BIBI forever!
Who is the villain now musk off
Now what American president has anything to do with the personal corruption charges of another nation president here? I am so confused 😕🤔
Who the hell Trump thinks he is? King of the Jews? His opinion overrides that of Israelis? Whose country he thinks Israel is?
Trump is himself guilty of many wrongs
Who is the Daddy? Nyetanyahu or Trump?
The consummate corrupt politician who pleaded the fifth over 400 times in his corruption case now protecting his corrupt brother who would ever thunk it absolute power, corrupts absolutely and these two clowns one circus, one rodeo continue to wreak havoc on the poor and helpless minorities of the world 🌍
Netanyahu get charge so fast but not zelensky, biden,democrat leader. I think its a propaganda inside job.
Yes let Bibi go stop the witch-hunt of our David!!
Ma’am every one knows who controls the president in America, it’s masks off now
Each player in his own court. No mingling please.
This woman is always juiced loll
DONALD DUMP IS A LOST CAUSE
ICC should arrest him! 😤😤😤
USA has a comedian rogue 😂 as a president
Can Trump go away to Epstein island and play with kids and stop ruining the planet?
What’s funny is the only reason he’s standing up for him because natanyahu is holding the Epstein files against him as blackmail😂
What is this thing between him and trump with 2 weeks
