Jonathan Congratulates Netanyahu

President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has congratulated Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu on his victory in Tuesday's general elections in
Israel.

President Jonathan looks forward to continuing to work with Prime
Minister Netanyahu to further strengthen the existing cordial and
mutually-beneficial relations between Nigeria and Israel.

The President and the Federal Government will also continue to count
on the cooperation and support of the Israeli government under Mr.
Netanyahu's leadership as Nigeria strives to overcome the challenges
of terrorism, violent extremism and sustainable development.

Recognizing that strife and crisis in the Middle East remain matters
of great concern to the international community, President Jonathan
called on Prime Minister Netanyahu, his incoming Administration in
Israel and other countries in the Middle-East to rededicate themselves
to achieving lasting peace in the region through peaceful
negotiations.

The President wished Mr. Netanyahu a very successful new term in
office and prayed that God Almighty will continue to grant him the
wisdom, courage and strength he requires to lead the people of Israel
into greater peace, security and prosperity.
