Likud lawmakers reportedly instructed to say they hope Biden continues Trump foreign policy
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleMembers of Prime Minister Netanyahu’s Likud party have been instructed to say in response to Joe Biden’s election win that they hope the US president-elect continues with the same foreign policy as Donald Trump, the Kan public broadcaster reports.
The formulation is meant to allow Likud to compliment Trump — with whom Netanyahu has forged close ties — while also congratulating Biden on his victory without alienating either side, the broadcaster says.
Netanyahu so far has not commented on the US election results and only one Likud lawmaker has congratulated Biden.
