Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, has congratulated Donald Trump, who claimed victory in the US presidential election, calling it “history’s greatest comeback” and a new beginning in the US-Israel alliance.
Netanyahu, in a statement issued by his office, “Congratulations on history’s greatest comeback! 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!”
Meanwhile, Trump has declared victory in the US election.
Naija News reports that Trump made this declaration while addressing his jubilant supporters in Florida. However, votes in key states are still being counted.
At West Palm Beach, he told crowds, “Look what happened – is this crazy?”
He added, “I want to thank the American people for the extraordinary honour of being elected your 47th president.
“I will fight for you and your family and your future, every single day I will be fighting for you with every breath in my body.”
He told the crowd he had won a “magnificent victory for the American people” while claiming he had also won the popular vote, something he failed to secure during his 2016 and 2020 presidential bids.
“This will truly be the golden age of America,” the 78-year-old said.
