Donald Trump on Saturday again went to bat for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the foreign leader's trial.The president took to Truth Social over the weekend to vent his concerns."It is terrible what they are doing in Israel to Bibi Netanyahu. 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," Trump wrote. "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.)."Trump then continued:"It is a POLITICAL WITCH HUNT, very similar to the Witch Hunt that I was forced to endure. This travesty of 'Justice' 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."Trump added, "The United States of America spends Billions of Dollar a year, far more than on any other Nation, protecting and supporting Israel.""We are not going to stand for this. We just had a Great Victory with Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu at the helm — And this greatly tarnishes our Victory," Trump concluded. "LET BIBI GO, HE’S GOT A BIG JOB TO DO!"Read it here.

A former "trusted operative" of Donald Trump is sounding the alarm about a "global power shift" purportedly in the works.Lev Parnas, whose story of working with Trump on issues that led to the president's first impeachment is told in a documentary called From Russia with Lev, used to work closely with Trump and his aides. More recently, Parnas reported that Trump plans to "stonewall" Congress on crucial war issues.On Saturday, Parnas published a "breaking" report on the current situation between Trump and Russia's leader, Vladimir Putin."As I sit here this morning reflecting on the historic and horrifying moments of this past week, I want to be very clear: we are living through a global power shift—one being sealed with drone strikes, courtroom rulings, and backdoor alliances," the former Trump associate warned on his Substack. "In the early hours of today, a Russian suicide drone slammed into a high-rise residential building in Odessa, Ukraine. A married couple was killed in their sleep. At least 14 others were injured, including three children, and entire families were displaced as fire consumed three floors. While rescue teams fought to save lives, Moscow made it clear: this war isn’t slowing down—it’s accelerating."Parnas went on to say, "As Ukraine burns, here at home, the United States Supreme Court is paving the road for Donald Trump’s authoritarian regime. We are witnessing the dismantling of democratic checks and balances in real time—a legal coronation of a man who has made clear he will rule by vengeance, not by law."After highlighting some of the recent back-and-forth compliments between Putin and Trump, Parnas said, "Let me be clear: this is not normal diplomacy.""This is not about peace. This is not about national interest. This is about two men working toward a shared goal—through optics and orchestrated messaging. As I’ve told you again and again: the real conversations are happening behind closed doors," he wrote. "The back-and-forth public compliments between Trump and Putin? That’s all optics. Because Trump is the showman. Putin is the puppet master. And what you’re seeing now—the praise, the silence, the inaction—is the execution of deals that were already made."Continuing, Parnas said, "Deals not just about territory, but about minerals. About access. About leverage. And Trump, once again, is willing to trade it all—so long as it benefits him."He then flagged some key questions he says the press should be asking."Why is no one in the media asking: Why are Trump and Putin praising each other while Ukrainian civilians are being burned alive? Why has no one reported on the quiet Russian delegation that arrived in D.C.? Why are we not hearing anything from Steve Witkoff?" he asked. "The answer is simple: they don’t want you to know."Read the full post here.
