There is nothing like the citizens of Israel. Israeli citizens trust us because they know that we have brought the best decade in Israeli history."Netanyahu was greeted by cheers calling him "Bibi, king of Israel." "The victory is even sweeter, because it was against all odds and we were eulogized," he told the crowd.
