TRUMP’S NETANYAHU Shift Sets Off a Legal MELTDOWN

from Kernow Damo

Trump reached in to steady Netanyahu, and the whole thing buckled on impact as Israel's legal system strained to cope! Right, so Donald Trump has always seemed to treat the law as something of a minor inconvenience to him and so in line with that way of thinking, he has decided that after everything Benjamin Netanyahu has done — the mass killing in Gaza, the starvation documented by aid agencies, the three active corruption indictments, the ICC warrant for starvation and murder — the real problem is the Israeli legal system daring to keep his trial running. He put that in writing. A formal letter to Israel’s President Isaac Herzog, demanding a full pardon. Political case. Unjustified prosecution. Netanyahu leading Israel into peace. The language is his. The request is real. Herzog’s answer is on the record as well. A pardon needs a formal application. Netanyahu hasn’t filed one. Netanyahu won’t admit his guilt. Likud’s nineteen ministers still lined up behind him and called the charges trivial, all have backed Trump’s demand as well, because the law isn’t for them, its for everyone else apparently. None of it touches the ICC case though. None of it touches Netanyahu’s record of genocide or his corruption allegations themselves either. And Trump is pushing the line that the obstacle to lasting peace in Gaza, is Netanyahu’s legal bothers at home. Right, so the letter arrived with the weight of the United States behind it. It carried the presidential seal. It carried the voice of Donald Trump. It was addressed to Isaac Herzog. It asked for a full pardon for Benjamin Netanyahu. There was no ambiguity in the wording. There was no diplomatic softening. Trump told Herzog that Netanyahu was guiding Israel into a time of peace. He told him the prosecution was political. He told him the trial was unjustified. He told him Netanyahu must not be diverted by legal proceedings. The letter was released by Herzog’s office and it entered the news cycle as a result, Herzog seemingly deciding that the world should actually see what the US President is trying to pull. The letter hit in the middle of a Gaza ceasefire that hadn’t stopped the funerals.
