​WATCH: Trump Congratulates Netanyahu On His Victory

     President Donald Trump spoke with reporters before leaving for Texas on Wednesday. Trump congratulated Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for apparently winning a fifth term. 

     "I’d like to congratulate Bibi Netanyahu. It looks like that race has been won by him. He’s a great ally and he’s a friend. I’d like to congratulate him," Trump began.

     "It was a well fought out race. Israel has never had a better friend than you. Everybody said you can’t have peace in the Middle East with Israel and the Palestinians," Trump said.

     "I think we have a chance and I think we have now a better chance with Bibi having won," Trump added.

     Netanyahu declared an "incredible, incredible victory" after exit polls put his party ahead of the Blue and White rivals, according to Breitbart. ​

     “I am very moved on this night. This is a night of an incredible, incredible victory," Netanyahu told supporters at a rally. ​

​  "Some 3.4 million votes are in, and holding 27% (931,000 ballots) Likud remains poised to be the largest party, according to official figures.

      Blue and White follows with 25.9%. Shas is next (6%), followed by United Torah Judaism (5.4%), Labor (4.4%), Yisrael Beytenu (4.3%), Hadash-Ta’al (4.2%), Union of Right-Wing Parties, Meretz and Kulanu (3.6%, respectively),"The Times of Israel reported. ​

​      "Almost everyone already said publicly that they would recommend me to the president," Netanyahu said.
