Former U.S. President Donald Trump has voiced criticism against Israeli prosecutors regarding the ongoing corruption trial of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Trump claims the trial impedes Netanyahu's ability to engage effectively in sensitive negotiations with both Hamas and Iran.

He argued that the United States, given its substantial military aid contributions to Israel, possesses a stake in the matter and may not tolerate such judicial actions.
