President Donald Trump claimed the corruption trial of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is a 'Witch Hunt' and should be cancelled or he should be pardoned.
The Wall Street Journal criticized Trump's remarks, stating that the legal proceedings against Netanyahu are not within the purview of a U.S. President.
Netanyahu faces charges involving gifts including cigars and champagne, valued at around $200,000, and accusations of receiving bribes through positive news coverage.
