“No. I hope they won't be that close, but I hope that we'll have that many people voting. I like the turnout. And I like the vigorous involvement. I like the debate. I thought it--you know, it was a very stimulating thing for them and, you know, it was a difficult, challenging election for the people of Israel and, you know, we'll see. I think all of us who watched the returns last night and watched the reports coming in were impressed by the vigor of the democracy and by the determination to participate. And now, you know, they have a very diverse society, and they're trying to find ways to integrate all the various elements of their society. It was very impressive to me what happened. And so I'm going to wait for the votes to come in and a winner to be declared and the government to be announced, and then we'll see where we go from there. Press Secretary Mike McCurry. Thank you, Mr. President.”
