The Israeli leader is battling multiple corruption charges.  Trump told the Israeli outlet Kan News on Sunday, “Tell your president to pardon Bibi [Netanyahu’s nickname].

Going into the 26th day of the Iran War ceasefire, President Donald Trump expressed skepticism of a new Iranian proposal to end the war. While boarding Air Force One Saturday evening, President Donald Trump said that he was reviewing the Iranian proposal to end the war.
