Trump is a hero and a colossus. And also the new Cyrus the Great
These were the words he was greeted with in Israel after the release of the hostages.
US President Donald Trump arrived in Israel on October 13, the day the terrorist group Hamas released Israeli hostages. Trump spoke in the Knesset during his visit. Before his speech, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Trump was "Israel's greatest friend," and Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana called him "not just another American president, but a hero in the history of the Jewish people" who will be remembered for centuries. “To find an analogy, we need to look back two and a half millennia to the misty times: Cyrus the Great,” Ohana said, comparing Trump to the Persian king who freed the Jews from Babylonian captivity in 539 BC.
