US Ambassador to Israel Thomas Nides congratulated Israeli Opposition Leader Benjamin Netanyahu Thursday, two days after Israel’s 25th Knesset election.
Nides announced via Twitter Thursday evening that he called Netanyahu to congratulate him, adding he is “looking forward to working” with the new Israeli government.
“Good call just now with Benjamin Netanyahu. I congratulated him on his victory and told him I look forward to working together to maintain the unbreakable bond.”
An hour earlier, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban congratulated Netanyahu with the message “Mazel Tov!” on Twitter.
Sharing a photograph of himself holding Netanyahu’s newly released memoirs, Orban wrote: “What a great victory for Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel! Hard times require strong leaders. Welcome back!”
