One billboard in Jerusalem on Oct. 10, 2025, following the historic peace deal between Israel and Hamas refers to President Trump as "Cyrus the Great."
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and others, previously compared President Trump to Cyrus the Great, an ancient Persian King who Jewish tradition treats as a "pagan agent of God's divine plan for Jews to return to the Land of Israel from their exile in Babylon."
