A new town in the Golan Heights will be named “Trump Heights,” or “Ramat Trump” in Hebrew, after U.S. President Donald Trump officially recognized Israeli sovereignty over the Golan three months ago.

The Israeli cabinet will hold a special meeting to establish the cornerstone for the new town, which is expected to be a mixed secular-religious community, in accordance with a resolution that will be introduced for approval by the Knesset.

In April, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he intended to ask his government to vote on a measure to name the new neighborhood.

“A single knock has changed thousands of families lives’ forever,” the military said.
“America stands shoulder to shoulder with our indispensable partner Israel,” the ambassador said.
The university said it awarded Milei the degree “in recognition of his long-standing partnership with the State of Israel and his public international fight against antisemitism.”
“The dual campaign reflects the direct connection between the sacrifice and bravery of our heroic IDF soldiers and the very existence and independence of the State of Israel,” said Ofir Akunis, Israel’s consul general.
“May the memory of the fallen of Israel’s wars and the victims of acts of terrorism be blessed forever.”
“The IDF will continue to operate to clear the area under its control,” the military stated.
