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.”
Thank you @realDonaldTrump for the friendship you have shown the state of Israel and me personally, for recognizing Jerusalem and the Golan, for standing up to Iran, for the historic peace accords and for bringing the American-Israeli alliance to unprecedented heights.
