Israeli PM Netanyahu calls President-elect Trump – here's what they spoke about



Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu "was among the first" Wednesday to call President-elect Donald Trump, the world leader’s office says.  

"The conversation was warm and cordial. The Prime Minister congratulated Trump on his victory, and the two agreed to work together for Israel's security," read a statement from the Israel Prime Minister’s Office. 

"The two also discussed the Iranian threat," it added. 

The statement came hours after the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas said Trump’s incoming administration in January must "work seriously to stop the war" in the Gaza Strip.
