To my dear friends in the international press: A settlement by the name of "Trump Heights" or "Ramat Trump" doesn't exist. It my exist in the future but the Israeli cabinet still hasn't even decided to do it. For now there's only a sign. A huge sign. Like Kim Jong Un's envelopes

Netanyahu's PR stunt was intended for an international audience of one.
Trump's recognition of the Golan Heights in March gave a dramatic boost to Netanyahu's election campaign, and he'll need the president's help again soon with new elections looming. https://t.co/MlQyAF2lkx

A great day on the Golan. PM Netanyahu and I had the honor to dedicate “Trump Heights” — first time Israel has dedicated a village in honor of a sitting president since Harry Truman (1949). Happy Birthday Mr. President!! @POTUS pic.twitter.com/fdYWzokFLK
