"With the letter, Trump inserts himself further into domestic Israeli politics, appearing to push to reward the Israeli prime minister for agreeing to the ceasefire. The call also highlights Trump's growing support for fellow right-wing leaders internationally. Earlier this year, the US bailed out the Argentinian economy under President Javier Milei with $40bn. In Wednesday's letter, Trump reiterated the false notion that he secured peace in the region for at least 3,000 years."
"In his letter, the US president cited Netanyahu's leadership in the war, an assault that killed more than 69,000 Palestinians, including at least 20,000 children, and which United Nations investigators have described as a genocide. I hereby call on you to fully pardon Benjamin Netanyahu, who has been a formidable and decisive War Time Prime Minister, and is now leading Israel into a time of peace,"
Donald Trump sent a letter to Israel's President Isaac Herzog asking for a full pardon for Benjamin Netanyahu and calling the corruption charges political and unjustified. Trump praised Netanyahu as a formidable and decisive wartime prime minister and credited him with leading Israel toward a ceasefire. The letter cited Netanyahu's leadership amid a Gaza assault that killed more than 69,000 Palestinians, including at least 20,000 children, and which UN investigators described as genocide. Israeli media published the letter. The move represents US intervention in Israeli domestic politics and echoes Trump’s broader support for right-wing leaders and prior public calls to end Netanyahu’s corruption case.
