A massive sign thanking US President Donald Trump is on display on the Tel Aviv beach, footage aired by Channel 12 shows.

“Thank you,” the sign reads, featuring a silhouette of Trump’s head, hovering over two blue stripes and blue Stars of David symbolizing the Israeli flag.

The writing also includes the word “home” in English and Hebrew.

Trump is set to land in Israel in the coming hours to celebrate the deal between Israel and Hamas to return the remaining 48 hostages and end the war.

Planes landing in Israel often fly over the Tel Aviv beach as they approach Ben Gurion Airport, so the president might be able to see the words from Air Force One.
