Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu seems truly excited about Donald Trump’s victory yesterday.
In a video posted to his official YouTube account, Netanyahu calls Trump “my friend,” and says the two administrations will bring their countries’ alliance “to even greater heights.”
“President-elect Trump, my friend,
“Congratulations on being elected President of the United States of America. You are a great friend of Israel.
“Over the years, you’ve expressed your support consistently, and I deeply appreciate it.
“I look forward to working with you to advance security, prosperity and peace.
“Israel is grateful for the broad support it enjoys among the American people, and I’m confident that the two of us, working closely together, will bring the great alliance between our two countries to even greater heights.
“May God bless America. May God bless Israel. May God bless our enduring alliance.”
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
