Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says a site has been found in the Golan Heights for a new Israeli community that will be named after US President Donald Trump.

“I promised that we would establish a community named after President Trump. I would like to inform you that we have already selected a site on the Golan Heights where this new community will be established, and we have started the process,” Netanyahu says at the start of the weekly cabinet meeting.

He says he will bring a proposal to break ground on the community for a cabinet vote once the next government is formed.

Netanyahu announced last month he would name a town in the Golan after Trump, in recognition of the US president’s of the area as Israeli territory.

Israel captured the Golan Heights from Syria in the 1967 Six Day War and later applied Israeli law to the area, a move tantamount to annexation. Israel’s control of the Golan and Trump’s recognition have been rejected by the rest of the international community.
