Jentezen Franklin, the senior pastor of Free Chapel, a multi-campus church based in Georgia, took to social media to celebrate the news.

"The sun shines on the hills of Galilea and in the beautiful city of Jerusalem today as two years of hoping and praying have witnessed a miracle," he posted to Facebook.

"What everyone said could not be done has been done. Thank you President Donald J Trump for your steadfast efforts to end wars all over the globe."

Franklin alluded to the Beatitudes, which are a set of statements by Jesus about who is blessed, as recorded in Matthew 5.

"Blessed are the peace makers and thank you for the countless lives that have been saved — and the reunions taking place in the Holy Land today," he added.
