Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday that he will ask his government to vote on a measure to name a new neighborhood in the Golan after U.S. President Donald Trump, who last month recognized Israeli sovereignty over the area.
“I’m here on the beautiful Golan Heights,” said Netanyahu, traveling with his family. “All Israelis were deeply moved when President Trump made his historic decision to recognize Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights. Therefore, after the Passover holiday, I intend to bring to the government a resolution calling for a new community on the Golan Heights named after President Donald J. Trump.”
