Trump's social media post described Netanyahu as a "great hero" and dubbed the trial a "witch hunt." He called for immediate action against the legal proceedings that have been ongoing since 2020. Netanyahu, maintaining his innocence, thanked Trump for his support, but opposition leader Yair Lapid criticized the former president's involvement, asserting that it undermines Israel's judicial independence. The political dynamics surrounding the trial remain influenced by the ongoing war in Gaza, leading to speculation about Netanyahu's motivations and future elections.

As military actions continue, the court proceedings have faced delays, raising suspicions that Netanyahu might be leveraging the conflict to manipulate the timing of his legal battles and elections.
