Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu tweeted New Year's greetings to soldiers and citizens as part of his four-minute videoed Rosh Hashana message to the country this weekend on YouTube. Sounding a bit like he is in election campaign mode, he summed up the passing year saying it was 'especially challenging' for Israel. 'For that reason I needed all the experience that I have accumulated as prime minister of Israel, facing challenges that at times seemed even world powers do not have to deal with.'
