Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was one of the first world leaders to congratulate former President Donald Trump on his stunning political comeback victory on Wednesday.
Netanyahu, who is leading a seven-front existential war against Iran’s regime and its proxies, wrote on X, “Dear Donald and Melania Trump, 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! In true friendship, yours, Benjamin and Sara Netanyahu.”
Fox News projected Trump as the winner of the presidential election in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
An array of world leaders also chimed in to congratulate Trump on X. French President Emmanuel Macron said on X, “Congratulations, President @realDonaldTrump. Ready to work together as we did for four years. With your convictions and mine. With respect and ambition. For more peace and prosperity.”
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban wrote,”The biggest comeback in US political history! Congratulations to President @realDonaldTrump on his enormous win. A much needed victory for the World!”
Orban, like Trump, is a proponent of strict border control.
