President Trump has taken up a new cause: the Benjamin Netanyahu innocence project. “It is a POLITICAL WITCH HUNT, very similar to the Witch Hunt that I was forced to endure,” he wrote on Truth Social on Saturday, one of three posts against the Israeli Prime Minister’s trial, which has dragged on since 2020. “LET BIBI GO, HE’S GOT A BIG JOB TO DO!”
But the workings of Israel’s overactive legal system and domestic politics aren’t within a U.S. President’s purview. We doubt Mr. Trump is familiar with the details of the Netanyahu case, nor should he be. It isn’t America’s place to say, as Mr. Trump has, that “Bibi Netanyahu’s trial should be CANCELLED, IMMEDIATELY,” or to threaten, “We are not going to stand for this” after mentioning U.S. military aid. That aid furthers a strategic purpose, as all the world saw this June in Iran, not a political one.
