Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu congratulated his friend Donald Trump on winning the presidential election.

In a video released on Facebook Wednesday, Netanyahu said, “President-elect Trump, my friend, congratulations on being elected President of the United States of America. You are a great friend of Israel. Over the years, you have expressed your support consistently, and I deeply appreciate it.”

“I look forward to working with you to advance, security, prosperity, and peace," he added. "Israel is grateful for the broad support it enjoys among the American people, and I’m confident that the two of us, working closely together, will bring the great alliance between our two countries to even greater heights.”

Netanyahu finished his statement by saying, “May God bless America, may God bless Israel, may God bless our enduring alliance.”

Netanyahu followed up his video with a subsequent post on the presidential election, adding that he called Trump to personally congratulate him on his win.

Netanyahu reportedly told Trump that “the United States has no better ally than Israel.”

According to Netanyahu’s Facebook, “The two leaders, who have known each other for many years, had a warm and heartfelt conversation. They also discussed regional issues. President-elect Trump invited Prime Minister Netanyahu to a meeting in the United States at the first opportunity.”

“Prime Minister Netanyahu told President-elect Trump that both he and his wife Sara are looking forward to meeting him and his wife, Melania,” the post read.
