Israel election: US concern over 'divisive' rhetoric

The White House says it is deeply concerned at what it called the "divisive rhetoric" in the Israeli election, which ended in a surprise win for Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party.

During campaigning, Mr Netanyahu said he would not allow the creation of a Palestinian state if re-elected.

The US, UN and EU have all urged him to continue with the two-state solution.

Mr Netanyahu aims to build a new coalition government within two to three weeks, his party says.
