A town square in the Tel Aviv suburb of Petach Tikvah will be named for U.S. President Donald Trump, announced Mayor Rami Greenberg on Monday.

The move comes “in gratitude to and appreciation to the president for his unwavering support of Israel,” said Greenberg in a statement.

This isn’t the only area in Israel named after the U.S. president.

Last month, Netanyahu said he will ask his government to vote on a measure to name a new neighborhood in the Golan after Trump, who in March recognized Israeli sovereignty over the area.

Plans are also expected to be announced this week for a train stop in Jerusalem to be named after Trump, who officially recognized Jerusalem as the capital of the Jewish state in December 2017 and relocated the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv there five months later.
