On Tuesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced he would submit an official proposal to name a new community on the Golan Heights after President Donald Trump.
"I’m here on the beautiful Golan Heights," Netanyahu began in a video. "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."
Indeed, last month Trump called on the U.S. to formally recognize Israel's sovereignty over the Golan Heights after 55 years. Israel took the western two-thirds of the Golan Heights in 1967 during the Six-Day War. The region has been a hotbed for battles in the Syrian Civil War. Israelis built settlements on the Golan Heights, which the U.N. condemned in 1981. The region is critical for Israel and the stability of the Middle East.
On March 25, Trump formally recognized Israel's sovereignty over the Golan Heights.
Ever since Trump announced that the U.S. would consider Jerusalem the capital of Israel and would move the U.S. Embassy to that city, Netanyahu and Israeli leaders have honored the president in various ways.
In 2017, Israel's transportation minister announced that the train station for the Western Wall would be named after Trump. In remarks last March, Netanyahu compared President Trump to the ancient Persian King Cyrus the Great and to Lord Balfour, who issued the proclamation establishing the state of Israel.
"I want to tell you that the Jewish people have a long memory. So we remember the proclamation of the great King Cyrus the Great — Persian King," Netanyahu said.

Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir.....””\

"Migdal Trump" ping!
President Trump has tapped into one of the worst kept secrets of the universe evuh: do great things for Jews, and the blessings rain on down.
BUMP
Very nice.
The man’s name is Trump because he is victorious by ingenious methods nobody else can envision much less execute. Meaning simple, obvious, and direct. Who ever does that?
Think Indiana Jones vs. the guy with the scimitar. So much for flashy routines.
David vs. Goliath. “There was no sword in the hand of David.” Well then again, there was one lying right there. Handy!
Best election ever.
