US President Donald Trump has called for Israel to pardon Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu or cancel his trial on corruption charges.
"Bibi Netanyahu's trial should be CANCELLED, IMMEDIATELY, or a Pardon given to a Great Hero, who has done so much for the State (of Israel)," Trump wrote on Truth Social, adding that he had learned that Netanyahu was due to appear in court on Monday.
Trump extolled Netanyahu and said in his post: "It was the United States of America that saved Israel, and now it is going to be the United States of America that saves Bibi Netanyahu."
That appeared to be a reference to US involvement and support for illegal Israeli strikes on Iran's nuclear programme.
