World leaders chatty over Israel’s never-ending election season

It seems the world leaders gathering now in Jerusalem are all curious about Israel’s unprecedented run of three elections in 11 months.

Prime Minister Netanyahu is heard chatting with the presidents of Romania and Cyprus, Klaus Iohannis, and Nicos Anastasiades respectively.

They joke about elections. “Well, I’ve won five of them,” Netanyahu says. The conversation then turns to artificial intelligence and investment opportunities.

A short while later, Netanyahu is chatting with Austrian President Alexander Van der Bellen when he is heard saying, “Three elections in one year. But I think I can do it.”
