Breaking silence after 12 hours, Netanyahu congratulates Biden

Some 12 hours after Joe Biden was projected to have won the US presidency, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu breaks his silence and congratulates him.

“Congratulations @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris. Joe, we’ve had a long & warm personal relationship for nearly 40 years, and I know you as a great friend of Israel. I look forward to working with both of you to further strengthen the special alliance between the U.S. and Israel,” Netanyahu tweets.

In a separate tweet, Netanyahu thanks outgoing president Donald Trump “for bringing the American-Israeli alliance to unprecedented heights.”
