Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday that a site for a promised new settlement to be named in honor of US President Donald Trump, a staunch ally of the Jewish state, had been chosen.
“I promised that we would establish a community named after President Trump,” Netanyahu said at the start of the weekly cabinet meeting.
“I would like to inform you that we have already selected a site in the Golan Heights where this new community will be established, and we have started the process,” he said in Hebrew.
In appreciation of Trump’s recognition of Israel’s claim of sovereignty over part of the strategic plateau, Netanyahu promised to establish the settlement last month.
Trump broke with a longstanding international consensus on March 25 when he recognized Israel’s claim of sovereignty over the part of the Golan it seized from Syria in the 1967 Six-Day War.
That came after the US president in December 2017 said Washington would recognize the disputed city of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, sparking outrage among the Palestinians who claim Israeli-annexed east Jerusalem as the capital of their own future state.
The US embassy was moved from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and inaugurated on May 14, 2018.
Netanyahu said he would submit the new settlement plan for cabinet approval when a new government takes office in the wake of last month’s snap general election.
Israel annexed 1,200 square kilometers of the Golan it seized in 1981, a move never recognized by the international community.
Around 18,000 Syrians from the Druze sect – most of whom refuse to take Israeli citizenship – remain in the occupied Golan.
Some 20,000 Israeli settlers have moved there, spread over 33 settlements.

Do you ever run into any internet browser compatibility issues?
A number of my blog readers have complained about my site not operating correctly in Explorer but
looks great in Chrome. Do you have any suggestions to help fix this problem?
I’ve been absent for some time, but now I remember why I used to love this blog. Thanks, I’ll try and check back more often. How frequently do you update your blog?
I think what you posted was actually very logical. But,
consider this, suppose you were to write a killer post title?
I ain’t saying your information is not solid., however suppose you added a headline to maybe get people’s
attention? I mean Israel PM says site found for ‘Trump’ settlement – Asia Times is kinda vanilla.
You should peek at Yahoo’s home page and watch how they create news headlines to grab viewers to open the links.
You might add a video or a picture or two to
grab readers interested about what you’ve got
to say. Just my opinion, it could make your posts a little bit more interesting.
