JERUSALEM – Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu extended his and his wife, Sara’s, congratulations to President Donald Trump and his wife, Melania, on what looks like a successful reelection bid in Tuesday’s presidential race.

Netanyahu, who largely had a good working relationship with Trump when he was president between 2017-2021, despite some instances where the two countries’ interests did not align, called the 45th president’s reentry to the White House, “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,” he posted on X.

Israel’s 11th President Isaac Herzog also congratulated Trump, calling the presumptive 47th U.S. president, “a true and dear friend of Israel, and a champion of peace and cooperation in our region.”

Official opposition leader Yair Lapid also extended his felicitations to Trump, remarking he had “time and again shown himself to be a true friend of Israel.”

Fibis I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
