The Jerusalem Post’s Monday front page, headlined “God bless the peacemaker,” circulated widely across social media within hours of publication, marking the paper’s second viral cover in a week.
Images of the print edition were shared by high-visibility accounts on X. CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins posted a photo of stacks of the newspaper. Rapid Response 47, an official White House profile, highlighted the design in a running thread. Additional posts featuring the cover were shared by popular pages such as OSINT613 and The Insider Paper, two large aggregation accounts that frequently drive rapid distribution of breaking visuals.
The cover features a full-page black-and-white portrait of Donald Trump with a banner reading “God bless the peacemaker,” set in a US flag motif. A message of thanks is attributed on the page to Sylvan Adams, identified as president of World Jewish Congress – Israel. The front page appeared amid the ongoing implementation of the ceasefire and staged hostage release.

Not the first viral cover
Monday’s attention follows a wave of pickup for the Jerusalem Post’s Friday front page, which showed a silhouette of Trump composed of the faces of remaining Israeli hostages and the headline “He’s bringing them home.” That earlier cover was reproduced or described by major outlets and high-follower accounts, including Newsmax, Mediaite, and Yahoo News, and spread broadly across X, Instagram, Facebook and Truth Social.
Together, the back-to-back covers have made the newspaper’s print design a focal point of the online conversation around the ceasefire and hostage releases. The Friday page functioned as a composite tribute to the hostages and the negotiations. Monday’s page presents a declarative message that supporters and commentators have shared as a standalone graphic.
The circulation pattern mirrors recent moments in which front pages become digital artifacts. A print layout appears at newsstands, then moves quickly through journalists’ feeds, media aggregators, and influencer accounts, reaching audiences far beyond the paper’s print circulation. In this case, the Jerusalem Post’s designs were boosted first by journalists and news aggregators and then by a wider set of political and international accounts.
While platform analytics vary by post and network, the distribution volume across major outlets and large social accounts indicates substantial global exposure for the two covers. With the ceasefire and releases continuing to drive international coverage, the Jerusalem Post’s consecutive front pages have twice set a visual frame for the story: Friday’s “He’s bringing them home” tribute and today’s “God bless the peacemaker.”
