“Dear Donald and Melania Trump. Congratulations on the best comeback in history”. That’s what Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on social media on Wednesday morning. The Israeli Prime Minister’s Office says that Netanyahu was among the first to call Trump to congratulate him after the victory was clear. French President Emmanuel Macron has also been in conversation with Trump. – The conversation was warm and heartfelt, they say. According to the administration, the two talked about the “Iranian threat” and agreed that they will cooperate on “Israel’s security”. Netanyahu says this is the start of something new, and wants to strengthen cooperation between the US and Israel. When Trump was president in 2018, the United States recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and moved the American embassy there. It led to bloody clashes.

In a clinch with Biden Both Biden and Harris have been clear that the US supports Israel’s right to defend itself in the war on the Gaza Strip after 7 October last year. Over the past year, however, the pressure from Biden has increased. On September 3, Biden said that Netanyahu did not do enough to bring about an agreement on a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. Netanyahu replied that Biden should pressure Hamas and not himself. In October, the US government demanded that Netanyahu do something about the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip. If not, they would withhold new arms deliveries. During the past year, over 43,000 Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli defense forces, according to the health authorities there. The United States is one of the biggest financial backers of Israel. Although criticism of Netanyahu has increased, the US has continued to support the country financially and militarily.

The US has traditionally supported Israel, also across party lines. On Wednesday, it became clear that Donald Trump will be the 47th president of the United States. At 11.30 Norwegian time, the news agency AP determined that it was not technically possible for Harris to catch up to Trump in the election. It was after the victory in the swing state of Wisconsin that Donald Trump got the last electors he needed. Although not all the votes have been counted, Donald Trump will thus become the next president of the United States. Despite the fact that he is accused in four criminal cases.

This is the best political movement ever in this country, perhaps in the whole world, said Donald Trump from the podium on Wednesday morning. Kamala Harris has not yet commented on the election results. It is expected that she will give a speech at 10 pm Norwegian time. Neither has Joe Biden commented on the election results. The Republicans have also gained a majority in the Senate, which gives them power in both chambers of Congress. After the supporters had waited for several hours, the main character himself appeared on stage at the election vigil in West Palm Beach. A historic election campaign It was Joe Biden who ran for re-election for the Democrats earlier this year. Many then asked questions about whether the 87-year-old president was not too old, and whether he was even capable of being president of the United States for another four years. Although there were many critics, the Democrats did not want to rally behind a new candidate. The discussions continued.

The weeks went by and there was still more from the Biden administration. During a campaign event in Pennsylvania, Donald Trump is shot on July 14.
