Jerusalem illuminated the Old City and Chords Bridge with U.S. and Israeli flags, thanking President Trump for securing peace and hostages’ release.
Jerusalem’s skyline gleamed with light and gratitude on Thursday evening as the walls of the Old City and the iconic Chords Bridge were illuminated with the flags of Israel and the United States. The dazzling display was a symbolic tribute to U.S. President Donald Trump and his administration for their pivotal role in securing the release of Israeli hostages and bringing the Gaza war to an end.
Jerusalem Mayor Moshe Lion declared with pride, “Jerusalem, the capital of Israel, salutes and thanks U.S. President Donald Trump and the American administration for their courageous leadership and determined efforts that helped bring about the release of the hostages and the end of the war. This is a moment of hope and faith, joy and unity.”
Lion emphasized that this achievement was not only diplomatic but deeply emotional — “It was made possible through the close cooperation of President Trump, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and the Israeli government — a reflection of the strength of our true partnership and the enduring alliance between our nations.”
The glowing spectacle drew crowds of citizens and visitors who cheered as Jerusalem’s sacred walls bore the colors of freedom, unity, and resilience. For many Israelis, it was a moment of triumph and gratitude — a salute to the steadfast U.S.-Israel alliance that once again delivered life and light after darkness.
