The jerusalem District Court cited these circumstances as the reason for delaying this week&#8217;s hearings, marking a partial victory for Netanyahu amid a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/new-grand-jury-seated-for-next-stage-of-trump-investigation\/\" title=\"New Grand Jury Seated for Next Stage of ...

His case garnered heightened attention following comments from former U.S. President Donald trump, who criticized the trial as a &#8220;witch hunt&#8221; and emphasized its potential impact on geopolitical negotiations, including those with Hamas. Trump has publicly supported Netanyahu,asserting that his legal troubles should not interfere with his duties as Prime Minister,notably during a time of international tension.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Netanyahu corruption trial delayed shortly after Trump blasted case<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2160200\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>An Israeli court announced that hearings for Prime Minister <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/benjamin-netanyahu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Benjamin Netanyahu<\/a>&lsquo;s corruption trial have been canceled for this week, a delay granted based on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/johnson-led-house-passes-bill-to-avert-government-shutdown-with-dem-support\/\" title=\"Johnson-Led House Passes Bill To Avert Government Shutdown With Dem Support\">pressing national security matters<\/a> following the country&rsquo;s military operation in <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/iran\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Iran<\/a> and the renewed campaign in <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/gaza\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Gaza<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Following the explanations given &hellip;

He is a War Hero, and a Prime Minister who did a fabulous job working with the United States to bring Great Success in getting rid of the dangerous Nuclear threat in Iran. Importantly, he is right now in the process of negotiating a Deal with Hamas, which will include getting the Hostages back. How is it possible that the Prime Minister of Israel can be forced to sit in a Courtroom all day long, over NOTHING (Cigars, Bugs Bunny Doll, etc.). It is a POLITICAL WITCH HUNT, very similar to the Witch Hunt that I was forced to endure. This travesty of &lsquo;Justice&rsquo; will interfere with both Iran and Hamas negotiations. In other words, it is INSANITY doing what the out-of-control prosecutors are doing to Bibi Netanyahu,&rdquo; the president said.<\/p>\n<p>Trump concluded, &ldquo;The United States of America spends Billions of Dollar a year, far more than on any other Nation, protecting and supporting Israel.
