“Israeli opposition politicians have rejected Donald Trump’s call for the cancellation of the long-running corruption trial of his ally Benjamin Netanyahu, accusing the US president of interfering in Israel’s judicial system. The US president posted a lengthy diatribe against the trial, describing a ‘ridiculous witch hunt’ that was an ‘unheard of … horror show’ and showering praise on Netanyahu for his leadership of Israel during the short war with Iran that was ended by a ceasefire on Tuesday. Yair Lapid, the leader of the Yesh Atid party, said Israel was grateful to Trump for support in the recent conflict, during which US planes dropped massive bombs on two Iranian nuclear facilities, but criticised ‘interference in the legal process’ and suggested that Trump was offering support to Netanyahu before pressuring the Israeli leader to make concessions to reach a new ceasefire in the 20-month war in Gaza.” (06/26/25)
