A large billboard along a major road in Jerusalem, which once praised President Joe Biden, now celebrates the victory of President-elect Donald Trump: “Welcome back Dear friend!” it reads, above a smiling photograph of Trump.
BREITBART -- In October 2023, the same billboard featured Biden with an American flag and an Israeli flag, with the simple word “Thanks!” Israelis were grateful for Biden’s visit and weapons supplies in the aftermath of the October 7 terror attack.
But as Biden began more critical of Israel, and tried to restrain its war effort, the image was taken down from the billboard, which is along Emek Refaim Street, a heavily American area of Jerusalem known as the German Colony.
As Breitbart News noted in October, polls of Israelis showed overwhelming support for Trump in the U.S. presidential election, and very little support for Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee. One poll had Trump at 66% among Israelis, and Harris at only 17%.
Israelis hope Trump will let them defeat their enemies, and reach peace deals with Arab states that want to move on beyond the conflicts of the past century.
