From The Times of Israel:
"‘History’s greatest comeback!’ Netanyahu leads Israeli politicians’ congrats to Trump
PM is first world leader to hail former president’s return to office; far-right minister Smotrich: ‘God bless Israel, God bless America’
"As the results on the 2024 United States presidential election indicated on Wednesday morning that former president Donald Trump had defeated Vice President Kamala Harris, Israeli leaders and politicians began congratulating the Republican on a decisive victory.
"Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was the first world leader to congratulate Trump, even before news outlets began to call the election in his favor.
“Congratulations on history’s greatest comeback!” he said in an English-language statement written in Trump’s trademark over-the-top style.
“Your historic return to the White House offers a new beginning for America and a powerful recommitment to the great alliance between Israel and America. This is a huge victory!”
“In true friendship,” Netanyahu signed off.
"The outcome of the election is a relief for Netanyahu’s coalition, which has clashed with President Joe Biden‘s Democratic administration over the war in Gaza and Lebanon, which began on October 7 of last year with the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel.
"The Biden administration has been vocally critical of Israel’s handing of the war, decrying the vast scale of humanitarian suffering in Gaza and Netanyahu’s propensity for escalation over resolution, often directly contradicting the US president’s wishes."
