Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePrime Minister Netanyahu congratulates newly reelected Russian President Putin, hailing the two leaders’ “trust and understanding,” but refraining from criticizing the election process, as many in Europe have done.
“Mr. President, please accept my sincere congratulations for your victory in yesterday’s elections,” Netanyahu writes in a letter to Putin, according to his office.
“I deeply appreciate the personal dialogue between us, and I look forward to continuing to work closely together, in the spirit of the trust and understanding between us, to promote the vital interests of our countries,” he added.
