“Congratulations on history’s greatest comeback!” he says in an English-language statement written in Trump’s trademark over-the-top style.

“Your historic return to the White House offers a new beginning for America and a powerful recommitment to the great alliance between Israel and America. This is a huge victory!”

“In true friendship,” Netanyahu signs off.
