Pirro compared Trump to the ancient king, King Cyrus of Persia, who proclaimed some 2,500 years ago that Jewish exiles in Babylon could come back and rebuild their Temple in Jerusalem. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made the same reference earlier this year after Trump recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

“Donald Trump recognized history. He like King Cyrus before him, fulfilled the Biblical prophecy of the God worshipped by Jews, Christians and, yes, Muslims, that Jerusalem is the eternal capital of the Jewish state and that the Jewish people finally deserve a righteous, free and sovereign Israel,” Pirro said.

Pirro’s statement was criticized by many on Twitter who described it as ‘dangerous.’ Others pondered where exactly the US embassy is referenced in the bible.
