Trump supports Netanyahu: Justice scandal throws shadows on Israel!

Israel - Donald Trump has commented on the ongoing corruption investigation against Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and demands the immediate termination of the procedure. In a statement, Trump emphasized the role of the United States in the rescue of Israel and found that the allegations against Netanyahu are based on an alleged “witch hunt”. Netanyahu is charged with fraud, infidelity and bribery, which is the first incumbent prime minister in Israel. The corruption process has been running for five years and is regarded as trend -setting for Israeli democracy.

Netanyahu was invited to a court appointment on Monday after he had first said in the cross -question at the beginning of the month. Courts in Israel are currently negotiating only urgent cases due to the war against Iran. According to the "Times of Israel", the continuation of the cross -interchangeable interrogation is also due, which could further affect the course of the procedure. It is expected that the process will take over for years.

political backgrounds and social tensions

The political developments in Israel are all the more explosive because the government's judicial reform divides society under Netanyahu. The government sees the judiciary as too powerful and feels disabled by the dishes in its democratically elected majority. Justice Minister Yariv Levin had announced a reform package after taking office, which is supposed to weaken the Supreme Court. One of the planned measures includes that the parliament should be able to ignore decisions of the Supreme Court, even if they affect fundamental civil rights.

A million Israelis have already participated in protests against these reform plans, which is remarkable in view of the population of less than ten million. Due to the pressure, the planned reforms were initially put on hold due to the pressure by months of mass protests. Critics fear that weakening the Supreme Court could lead to more corruption and endanger the protection of minorities. The Supreme Court is considered the only instance that can set limits to the power of the majority.

In this politically charged climate, both Trump and Netanyahu demand that corruption investigations are set. Trump sees himself as a supporter of the Israeli prime minister. The German media and in particular [Spiegel] (https://www.spiegel.de/ausland/donald-trump-frequent-berbstellung- von- corruption procedure-benjamin-netanyahu-a-a1089449-4171-ad07-d90ca0e9f050) report on the explosive situation that affects the political landscape of Israels, but but also international dimensions, given the strategic alliances in the Middle East.

The future of the procedure against Netanyahu remains uncertain, and with the already tense social situation in Israel it becomes clear that developments around the judicial reform and the corruption process could have far -reaching effects on Israeli politics. The pressure grows, both from the political side and from society that strives for justice and stability.

The discourse about how these factors affect the domestic political situation remains exciting and continues to be observed closely, especially with regard to the upcoming decisions of the Supreme Court and the reactions of the international community.
