Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid has congratulated Benjamin Netanyahu on his victory in Tuesday's general election. Mr Lapid said he had called his rival to wish him luck and tell him he would ensure an orderly transition of power. Mr Netanyahu's Likud party and its far-right and religious allies won 64 of the 120 seats in parliament, according to final results released on Thursday. It marks a dramatic comeback for the former prime minister, who was ousted by his opponents 14 months ago.
Netanyahu returns to power in Israel while under indictment for bribery, fraud, and breach of trust.
Pretty sad when 7,069,000 Isreali Jews can't find anyone better than the ultra far-right Netanyahu to lead their country.
