Trump's Israeli Corruption Cameo: 'Helping' Netanyahu Bail Out
In a once-in-a-four-year trial saga, Israel's PM Benjamin Netanyahu faces bribery, fraud, and breach of trust charges over $200,000 in gifts and telecom favors that sound like a Netflix docu-series gone awry. Meanwhile, former U.S. President Donald Trump graciously volunteered on '60 Minutes' to 'help a little' with Netanyahu's corruption woes, calling him a wartime leader and unfairly treated—probably because cigars and champagne bribes don’t scream 'justice.' Trump even nudged Israeli President Isaac Herzog live in parliament to pardon the guy. Oh, and the Gaza ceasefire got a cameo with Trump calling it 'solid'—because global conflicts are obviously best assessed by reality TV veterans. Hostage exchanges and press calls? Just another Sunday aboard Air Force One.
