In a similar context, far-right ministers in Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government celebrated on Wednesday after Donald Trump declared victory in the US presidential election.
Israeli Police Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir expressed his excitement on X, saying, "Yesssss, God bless Trump."
Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich shared his sentiments, stating, "God bless Israel, God bless America."

It is crucial to acknowledge that the ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza and Lebanon has escalated to catastrophic levels, with the US continuing to fuel it through the supply of armaments. The current genocide in Gaza has resulted in the killing of thousands of civilians, while millions have been forcibly displaced. Meanwhile, the Israeli aggression toward Lebanon adds to the regional turmoil, intensifying the humanitarian crisis.
