President Donald Trump thanked Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu Sunday, hours after the Israeli cabinet formally approved the establishment of a new town in the Golan Heights named after the president.
“Thank you PM Netanyahu and the State of Israel for this great honor!” Trump tweeted.
The president’s tweet attached comments by US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman, who attended the special cabinet meeting and naming ceremony Sunday afternoon.
“A great day on the Golan. PM Netanyahu and I had the honor to dedicate ‘Trump Heights’ — first time Israel has dedicated a village in honor of a sitting president since Harry Truman (1949). Happy Birthday Mr. President!!”
President Trump turned 73 on Friday.
Two days later, in place of regular the weekly Israeli cabinet meeting in Jerusalem, ministers gathered for a special meeting in the town of Kela Alon in the Golan Heights.
During the meeting, which was attended by Ambassador Friedman, the government formally moved to approve the establishment of a new town in the Golan named Ramat Trump – or “Trump Heights”.
"This is a historic day,” Netanyahu said, sitting next to Friedman. “We are about to approve construction of a new town in the Golan, something that hasn't happened in quite a long time...and we'll be honoring a great friend of Israel, President Donald Trump, who recently recognized Israeli sovereignty over the Golan, the first foreign leader to do so."

I wish these headlines would always use “PRESIDENT Trump” given that, you know, he IS the President, after all.
Now the muslim countries will be fighting over who will be the first to name a town after Obama. Or may Hillary. Or maybe Kerry. Or maybe Brennan.
They are no doubt bringing out the Palestinian flag pics en masse over there while they shout "kauft nicht bei Juden!"....er…...I mean to say "Boycott divest & sanction!"
Your favorite GIF.... again
Israel knows leftists hate Israel and Israelis
Oh no doubt the0bammy and theWookie and theValJar are fuming over this. Wonder how much stuff in that French farmhouse mansion they are tossing at the walls? I love it.
Congratulations President Trump.
One President made it happen.
And other countries are now moving their embassy to Jerusalem.
Leading by example.
Loyalty is a two way street.
At one time I had a tweet from dead Obama staffer Alex Okrent. He was going to a “Free Palestine” rally at some point.
Guess he was a miniature Rachel Corrie.
Must be extra chanting to “the god of this world” going on.
The one that gave them fame and fortune.
Re: liberal TDS . . . . Yeah, that’s a good one.
But I find the graphic “head exploding” disturbing, and it may be more so for our combat veteran members who have seen something similar happen to their buddies in war.
What an incredible gesture from the Israeli People.
President Trump is the greatest friend and ally that God’s chosen people have ever know. Is there anyone out there who still doubts that Trump himself is a divine being ?
Very Nice
Trump is not a divine being. He is a man with flaws but he is truly a gift from God to us all.
Actually I pretty much agree with you on that. I posted it with a bit of hesitation. I’ll ask for it to be removed.
Running into TDS liberals as I often do, at least online (gave up doing so in person if I can avoid it) leaves me a bit jaded from time-to-time.
My father (RIP), a combat veteran of Korea, knew close combat up real and personal. He did not like to talk about the stories.
But, to be Captain Obvious, liberals are obviously very, very, very disturbed after all the lies pumped into their heads by the liberal media and Hollywood.
Everyone out there should be careful when in their midst.
What a wonderful birthday gift!
He has accomplished more than any man in history. Even our greatest men of God say they have never felt Christ’s presence so strongly as when they met him.
I support Trump. But he has not accomplished more than any man in history.
