US media tries to comprehend results
American news outlets were surprised by the outcome of this week’s elections, ToI’s Rebecca Shimoni-Stoil reports, with some networks forced to reverse their headlines once results started coming in.
Many outlets turned the focus to the implications of Netanyahu’s win, especially on his ostensible turn to the right in the days leading up to the election.
The New York Times editorial board excoriates Netanyahu for his “outright rejection of a Palestinian state and his racist rant against Israeli Arab voters on Tuesday showed that he has forfeited any claim to representing all Israelis.”
Many predicted that relations between the White House and Jerusalem will get worse, especially if the PM keeps to his campaign promises.
