Tel Aviv - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejoiced over Donald Trump’s election victory, as he banked on resetting relations with Washington and following through on his maximalist aims in the country’s multifront war.

Netanyahu has previously called Trump the "best friend Israel has ever had in the White House". Trump previously won favour here by scrapping an Iran nuclear deal that Israel opposed, brokering historic normalisation agreements with several Arab countries and upending decades of US policy - and international consensus - by recognising Jerusalem as Israel's capital.

More details are emerging about former President Donald Trump's call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after the 2024 election. This comes as world leaders connect with the president-elect after he won the race against Vice President Kamala Harris.

Despite the violence directed at Israeli soccer fans in Amsterdam, France won't change its plans to host a Nations' League game against Israel next week, the interior minister said on Friday. "France is not backing down because that would amount to giving up in the face of threats of violence and anti-Semitism",

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said he directed rescue planes to be sent in response to violence after the Maccabi Tel Aviv FC-Ajax match.

Amsterdam mayor Femke Halsema condemned violence in the city on Thursday as "antisemitic hit-and-run squads" after Maccabi Tel Aviv fans were attacked during their team's Europa League game with Ajax.
