WASHINGTON, June 29 (Xinhua) — U.S. President Donald Trump on Saturday lashed out at Israeli prosecutors over the corruption trial of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“The United States of America spends billions of dollars a year, far more than any other nation, to protect and support Israel. We will not tolerate this,” Trump wrote on the Truth Social social network.
He said the case would distract the prime minister from negotiations with Iran and Hamas.
An Israeli court on Friday rejected Netanyahu’s request to postpone testimony in a corruption case, ruling that he had not provided sufficient grounds.
The trial against B. Netanyahu has been going on for more than five years. In one of the cases, B. Netanyahu and his wife were accused of receiving luxury goods worth more than $260,000 from billionaires in exchange for political patronage.
In two other cases, Netanyahu is accused of trying to get more positive coverage of his policies in two Israeli media outlets. –0–
