Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid has just conceded the election, designating Benjamin Netanyahu as his replacement.
According to a statement from Lapid’s office, he called Netanyahu to offer his congratulations.
Lapid informed Netanyahu that he had instructed his office to make suitable preparations for the handover of power.
“The state of Israel comes before any political consideration.
“I wish Netanyahu success, for the sake of the people of Israel and the State of Israel”
Netanyahu’s victory will shock most Palestinians and some Arab states, who believe his government is likely to continue Israeli expansion activity on the West Bank.
