Prime Minister of
Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu has congratulated Joe Biden on his triumph at the
United States 2020 Presidential Election.
The Democratic candidate on Saturday crossed the 270
electoral votes required for victory.
Netanyahu also sent good wishes to Kamala Harris, his
running mate.
The PM noted that he has a long and warm personal
relationship with Biden for nearly 40 years.
“I know him as a great friend of the State of Israel. I am
sure we will continue to work with both to continue to strengthen the special
alliance between Israel and the United States”, he tweeted.
Netanyahu also commended President Donald Trump for the friendship
shown Israel and him.
He thanked the American leader for “recognizing Jerusalem
and the Golan, for standing up to Iran, for the historic peace accords and for
bringing the American-Israeli alliance to unprecedented heights.”
Trump maintains Biden did not win and will begin legal
battle today.
Saudi Arabia has also reacted to the election outcome, state
news agency reported.
The king and his son, Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) said they
look forward to fostering ties with the U.S.
“King Salman praised the distinguished, historic and close
relations between the two friendly countries and their people which everyone
looks to strengthen and develop at all levels”, SPA quoted.
During his campaign, Biden promised to reassess relationship
with the kingdom and demand more accountability over the death of Jamal
Khashoggi.
In 2018, the journalist was murdered inside Riyadh’s
consulate in Instanbul, Turkey.
In December 2019, Saudi sentenced five people to death. Some
countries and international organizations insist that the masterminds are
walking free.
