President Donald Trump delivered a scathing rebuke of the state of Israel over the “witch hunt” targeting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — a case that began in 2020 — is set to move forward on Monday.

Trump made it clear in his post, shared first via his Truth Social platform, that both he and the United States would have Netanyahu’s back — and he called for the case to be dropped immediately, praising the Prime Minister’s recent actions with regard to the conflict with Iran.

“BREAKING NEWS … I was shocked to hear that the State of Israel, which has just had one of its Greatest Moments in History, and is strongly led by Bibi Netanyahu, is continuing its ridiculous Witch Hunt against their Great War Time Prime Minister!” Trump began.

President Trump just posted a long, strong defense of Netanyahu regarding his trial.

The president then pivoted to address Iran and argued that Netanyahu had handled the situation perfectly.

“Bibi and I just went through HELL together, fighting a very tough and brilliant longtime enemy of Israel, Iran, and Bibi could not have been better, sharper, or stronger in his LOVE for the incredible Holy Land,” he continued. “Anybody else would have suffered losses, embarrassment, and chaos! Bibi Netanyahu was a WARRIOR, like perhaps no other Warrior in the History of Israel, and the result was something that nobody thought was possible, a complete elimination of potentially one of the biggest and most powerful Nuclear Weapons anywhere in the World, and it was going to happen, SOON!”

“We were fighting, literally, for the Survival of Israel, and there is nobody in Israel’s History that fought harder or more competently than Bibi Netanyahu,” Trump said, turning his attention to the legal case against the Israeli Prime Minister. “Despite all of this, I just learned that Bibi has been summoned to Court on Monday for the continuation of this long running, (He has been going through this ‘Horror Show’ since May of 2020 – Unheard of! This is the first time a sitting Israeli Prime Minister has ever been on trial.), politically motivated case, ‘concerning cigars, a Bugs Bunny doll, and numerous other unfair charges’ in order to do him great harm.”

Using similar language to what he’d used to describe the legal cases against him in the lead up to the 2024 presidential election, Trump continued: “Such a WITCH HUNT, for a man who has given so much, is unthinkable to me. He deserves much better than this, and so does the State of Israel. Bibi Netanyahu’s trial should be CANCELLED, IMMEDIATELY, or a Pardon given to a Great Hero, who has done so much for the State.”

“Perhaps there is no one that I know who could have worked in better harmony with the President of the United States, ME, than Bibi Netanyahu,” he concluded. “It was the United States of America that saved Israel, and now it is going to be the United States of America that saves Bibi Netanyahu. THIS TRAVESTY OF ‘JUSTICE’ CAN NOT BE ALLOWED!”

Vice President JD Vance weighed in on the ongoing dispute between media outlets and the Trump administration regarding the recent military strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities — specifically, over whether or not the strikes were successful in destroying the intended targets.

President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth — alongside Secretary of State Marco Rubio — declared the strikes a success and pushed back on reports citing an intelligence report that said otherwise. Vance shared a clip of that exchange and explained what he thought was truly telling about the whole scenario: the leaked intelligence report and the media coverage of the strike on Iran.

“This is such a revealing clip,” Vance began his lengthy post on X. “The American media is full of the least curious, least insightful people in our country. To recap, an out of context, ‘low confidence’ and incomplete intelligence report was selectively leaked to the media. The media reported on the findings without any real effort to figure out whether they represent any part of (much less the full) truth. The way the media has presented the report is contradicted by the IAEA, the Iranians themselves, and the administration’s political and defense leadership. More importantly, the media’s reports are contradicted by common sense.”

Vance went on to describe what actually happened during the strikes on Iran, saying, “To summarize: a dozen 30,000-pound bunker busters were dropped on Iran’s main nuclear site. (The other two sites that were targeted suffered heavy damage too). No one disputes they hit their targets. No one disputes the explosive or destructive power of the weapons. No one disputes that a week ago, Iran could have easily assembled a nuclear weapon and now they can’t.”

Everyone stipulated that the United States military had, in fact, struck the intended targets and done damage, Vance explained, noting that the only element in question was how much damage was done — and how quickly, if they were so inclined, could the Iranians rebuild?

“The entire debate — even accepting the press’s dishonest framing — is not about whether Iran can now build a nuke. They can’t. It’s about how much rebuilding the Iranians would have to do in order to achieve a nuclear weapon,” Vance said. “In other words, after a wildly successful military operation with no American casualties, the American media is trying to blame Donald Trump for the existence of facilities *that haven’t even been built yet.* (Set to the side Iran’s willingness to rebuild their program. As the President himself said, they now know there are serious consequences for rebuilding. They also learned that we can very easily set their progress back.)”

The vice president concluded by pointing to the one story that he believed should be covered, though it was clear that he held out little hope in American media outlets doing so.

“There is actually an interesting story here, if the media was interested in telling it,” he said. “Why are members of the intelligence community leaking incomplete reports against the elected leadership of the country? Why have the same reporters who have gotten so much wrong learned so little? What is the purpose of these leaks — who is behind them, and what are they trying to achieve? The media won’t investigate that story, though it would be in the public interest to do so.”

“So pay attention to the reporters who are laundering talking points from junior careerists in the intelligence community,” he warned. “President Trump has obliterated the Iranian nuclear program. The American media seems destined to obliterate their own credibility on this fake story.”
