From a CNN story snidely reporting on the "Trump-naming frenzy" sweeping Israel.
A Jerusalem city council member proposed changing the name of Salah ad-Din Street -- a largely Arab Muslim street that leads into the Old City's Muslim Quarter -- to Donald Trump Street. In a letter addressed to the deputy mayor, Councilman Arieh King wrote, "Thanks to his action, other nations intend to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of the State of Israel and work to transfer their embassies to our city."
Arieh King has certain similarities to Rep. Steve King in the US. This may never actually be allowed to happen, but it's a fun thought. Why should streets in Jerusalem be named after Islamic imperialist conquerors?
But some of these are far likelier to happen.
In addition to the station, Trump-naming frenzy has swept across Jerusalem and Israel, where multiple municipal projects are expected to bear the name of the 45th President.
A planned high-speed rail station in the Old City of Jerusalem will be named after President Donald Trump, Israeli Minister of Transportation Yisrael Katz told CNN.
The station, which will be built inside the walls of the Old City, will drop off passengers near the Dung Gate, which leads straight to the Western Wall, the holiest site at which Jews can pray.
In nothern Israel, Kiryat Yam Mayor David Even Tzur plans on naming the city's new park after Trump. Tzur even suggested he would consider inviting Trump to the opening of the park in April 2018. He received a thank you letter from Trump, which said, "I am thankful for your gesture and am moved to know that the people of Israel are encouraged by my decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel."
A council resolution in the coastal city of Ashkelon would name a road "Trump Declaration Street," echoing the title of the "Balfour Declaration" of 1917, in which the British government committed to a Jewish home in British-mandatory Palestine.
I imagine that there will be plenty of others. Israel has a healthy birth rate and urban expansion continues to grow towns and cities. As I mentioned earlier, there are plenty of US presidents already commemorated in Israel from George Washington to JFK. But it's likely that Trump will have the most things named after him in Israel.
