The European leader who already congratulated Netanyahu on his election victory

Slovenian Prime Minister Janez Janša congratulated Netanyahu and the Likud party on an election victory, even though vote counting is still ongoing and the right-wing bloc does not have a majority to form a government.

Slovenian Prime Minister Janez Janša last night (Wednesday) congratulated Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Likud party on their election victory on his X account, even though vote counting in Israel is still ongoing. Janša praised the high voter turnout and emphasized the friendship between the countries, writing: "It's not easy to fight on two fronts and win." However, the article notes that according to the emerging election results, the right-wing bloc stands at only about 53 seats, eight fewer than the majority needed to form a government, making the political picture more complex than the congratulatory message might suggest.
