President Isaac Herzog congratulates presumptive US presidential winner Donald Trump on his “historic return to the White House,” calling him “a true and dear friend of Israel, and a champion of peace and cooperation in our region.”

“I look forward to working with you to strengthen the ironclad bond between our peoples, to build a future of peace and security for the Middle East, and to uphold our shared values,” Herzog tweets.

“On behalf of the Jewish and democratic State of Israel, and all our people, I wish you much success.”
