Displayed in Israel was raised in the heartland of Israel on a hilltop near the community of Ateret, the heart of the Binyamin region.
The massive flag, measuring 26×36 feet (8x11 meters), is visible from great distances. Numerous aircraft pass overhead on their way to Ben Gurion Airport, which can be clearly seen in the background.
Next week, President Trump will arrive at Ben Gurion Airport and address the Israeli parliament.
The community of Ateret was established at the site where Judah Maccabee fought the Greeks, the few against the many, and where he ultimately fell in battle. The Maccabee's heroism symbolizes the Jewish people's determination in the face of any challenge, then as now.
The massive flag was erected in Binyamin as a gesture of gratitude to the President of the United States, Donald Trump, for his significant achievement in securing the agreement for the return of the hostages, and with confidence that it will bring peace and stability to all citizens of the State of Israel.
Yisrael Ganz, Governor of the Binyamin region and Head of the Yesha Council, said:
"President Trump has proven himself to be a true friend of Israel in general, and of Judea and Samaria in particular. Ahead of his visit, we chose to raise a giant American flag in the heart of the Binyamin region, at the aerial gateway to the State of Israel. In the land of our forefathers, at the very place where Judah Maccabee fought - midway between the river and the sea - we have placed a symbol of the unbreakable friendship between us. The President accomplished what many believed impossible – bringing the hostages home – and we are confident that he will continue to help us defend our land, from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea."
