The Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahuhad his first telephone conversation with the already elected president of the USA, Donald Trumpto convey their congratulations after his electoral victory in the presidential elections and agreed to “work together for the safety of Israel«.
«The prime minister was one of the first to call the American president-elect. The conversation was warm and cordial. “Both agreed to work together for Israel’s security and also spoke about the Iranian threat.”indicates the statement from the Prime Minister’s Office.
During the morning of this Wednesday when the results already declared Trump the winner, Netanyahu was one of the first world leaders to publicly celebrate this victory on his X account.
«Your historic return to the White House offers a new beginning for the United States and a return to commitment to the great alliance between Israel and the United States. It’s a great victory!he wrote on his social network.
The Republican’s return to the White House comes while the Israeli government continues its fight against the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWAin its acronym in English) to prohibit it from continuing to operate in territory controlled by Israel.
Precisely, Trump in his previous term (in 2018) suspended financial aid for this agency, reduced funds for development projects in the West Bank and Gaza and closed the office of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) in Washington.
The most far-right wing of the Israeli Government, on the other hand, also celebrated the result of the presidential elections and hopes to find greater harmony with Trump to, among other things, be able to implement its colonialist policies in the West Bank busy.
The big unknown now is the response that the president-elect will give to the offensive that Israel continues to maintain in the Gaza Strip y Lebanonwhen today after his first speech he said: «We don’t want wars. “I’m not going to start a war, I’m going to stop them.”. EFE (I)
