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.
Netanyahu responded on X, saying "thank you again" and promising that "together, we... will make the Middle East Great Again!".
An Israeli court on Friday rejected Netanyahu's request to postpone giving testimony in his corruption trial, ruling that he had not provided adequate justification for his request.
Netanyahu and his wife Sara are accused of accepting more than $260,000 worth of luxury goods such as cigars, jewelry and champagne from billionaires in exchange for political favors.
Netanyahu is accused of attempting to negotiate more favorable coverage from two Israeli media outlets.
Netanyahu has denied any wrongdoing and has thanked Trump for his support in Israel's war with Iran, which saw a ceasefire agreement earlier this week.
Trump on Wednesday sprung to Netanyahu's defense, describing the case against him as a "witch hunt."
On Saturday, he described Netanyahu as a "War Hero" and said the case would distract the prime minister from negotiations with Iran and with Hamas, the Gaza-based Palestinian armed group that Israel is at war with.
"This travesty of 'Justice' will interfere with both Iran and Hamas negotiations," said Trump, although it was unclear what negotiations he was referring to with regards to Iran.
The US leader also likened Netanyahu's legal troubles to his own before he took office for his second term.
"It is a POLITICAL WITCH HUNT, very similar to the Witch Hunt that I was forced to endure," said Trump.

...The Jerusalem District Court today (Sunday) accepted Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu request to postpone hearings in his trial. As the result, he will not be summoned to testify in court this week...
So sanction the court, judges and prosecutors involved in the lawfare. Trump has the power to van from from the U S., from use of Americans banks, brokerage and other financial institutions, and even from use of Office 365 and many software products. DO IT!
It seems when President Trump speaks the judges in the American Territory of Israel listen.
Send them two photos, one of the holes where Fordo used to be and one of their house.
Can we include Chuck U Schumer?
A picture is worth a thousand words!
I don’t know about this. We don’t like it when other nations interfere in what is our business.
Exactly! Navy pilot — I salute you.
Our interference through Clinton, Obama, and Biden is the reason for law fare against Netanyahu. Trump is just turning the tables on these dirtbags as well as our own state department responsible for this mess.
I agree it’s distasteful.
But this is an international deep state prosecution. There is zero difference between their corrupt deep state and ours. The two are deeply intertwined (along with basically every other country’s deep state).
Yep, this is the Moneyed Deep State against the Normal Average Citizen, and those that advocate for them, like Trump and Netanyahu.

...Having seemingly despaired of the possibility of defeating him at the polls, his adversaries have turned—more clumsily than not—to weaponising the legal system as a means of realizing their political goals...
...enraged and exasperated by Netanyahu’s remarkable ability to withstand their continued and concerted efforts to remove him from office, his adversaries—including has-been former PMs, defense ministers, IDF Chiefs-of-Staff, heads of intelligence services—have committed acts of unmistakable sedition and treason, openly urging members of the military not to serve [and villifying IDF soldiers in the international arena, ed.]—thereby conveying a message of national disarray and division, emboldening the country’s enemies, bent on its destruction...
Can you imagine if we had both of them now?
All paid for by USA taxpayers under Biden (along with all the pre 10/7 protests).
And their deep state, in return, pays for ANTIFA and BLM violence over here (along with every other deep state actor).
It would be great!
Backwards, we are fun by Israel, we are but the wallet.
Ditto, and vice/versa.
