JNS.org – A town square in the Tel Aviv suburb of Petach Tikvah will be named for US 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.
“We are making history here in the center of Petach Tikvah. We will celebrate this important event on American Independence Day. This is a great honor for Petach Tikvah,” said Greenberg, who mentioned that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, other government officials and US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman would be invited to the naming.
This isn’t the only area in Israel named after the US 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 US embassy from Tel Aviv there five months later.
