Minister Karhi: “Trump Is the Cyrus of Our Time, Victory Is Within Reach”

Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi offered effusive praise for U.S. President Donald Trump in an interview with Arutz Sheva, calling him “the Cyrus of our time”—a reference to the ancient Persian king who allowed Jews to return to Jerusalem and rebuild the Temple. “The ultimate victory is within reach,” Karhi said, tying Israel’s current military campaign to what he described as ongoing divine intervention. “It depends on us and on Heaven’s grace—the miracles we’re witnessing in this war and will continue to witness.” Karhi’s remarks reflect growing reverence in some Israeli political circles for Trump’s role in greenlighting the recent U.S. strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities—an action widely seen as pivotal in shifting the strategic balance.
