An unexpected cold snap has been observed in diplomatic relations between the White House and Tel Aviv. The US President's sharp objections to the Israeli leadership caused a great stir in the international political arena.
Zamin.uz will investigate the details of the disagreement between the leaders of the two countries and the complicated trial of Benjamin Netanyahu.
US President Donald Trump has strongly condemned the activities of Israeli President Isaac Herzog. According to the White House chief, the Duke has not fulfilled his promises to pardon Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. For this reason, Trump described his colleague as "weak and helpless."
"They're deceiving me"
In an interview with the Israeli television company Channel 14, Trump assessed the situation as follows:
- Unfulfilled promise: The US president claims that the Duke has repeatedly promised to pardon Netanyahu, but in practice, he has been procrastinating.
- War and the Trial: Trump is convinced that the ongoing "stupid" trials against Netanyahu are distracting the prime minister from his main task - to manage the war.
- The opposing side's reaction: Israeli officials claim that the Duke never made a firm promise regarding the pardon, but rather stated that the matter would only be considered within the legal framework.
What is Netanyahu accused of?
For the first time in Israeli history, the incumbent prime minister is participating in a criminal case as an accused. He was charged with bribery, fraud, and abuse of power:
- "Milchan Case": Prime Minister is suspected of receiving valuable gifts from billionaire Arnon Milchan in exchange for protecting his commercial interests.
- Agreement with the media: It is said that secret contacts have been established with the telecommunications company "Bezeq" and the publication "Yedioth Ahronoth" regarding the provision of various benefits in exchange for materials praising Netanyahu's family.
- International prosecution: On November 21, 2024, the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Galant for war crimes in Gaza.
Trump's strong defense and IJS sanctions
The US president continues to unconditionally support Israel. The Trump administration has imposed unprecedented penalties on the International Criminal Court to protect Netanyahu. This step is assessed as strong pressure on the international institution that ensures global justice.
- The year the trial began was 2019.
- The date of the ICC Order is November 21, 2024.
- Main charges - Bribery, fraud, war crimes.
- US position - Full military and political support, sanctions.
Dear readers, in your opinion, will Israeli President Netanyahu be pardoned under Trump's pressure? Do legal proceedings really negatively affect the course of the war?
