Trump Heights

This page is subject to the extended confirmed restriction related to the Arab-Israeli conflict.Trump Heights (Hebrew: רמת טראמפ, romanized: Ramat Trump [ʁaˈmat ˈtʁamp]) is a planned Israeli settlement in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights named after and in honour of Donald Trump, the 45th President of the United States.

[7] It is the first community in Israel and Israeli-occupied territories named after a sitting American president since Kfar Truman.

[14] In 1991, an Israeli settlement called Brukhim was established on the land of the future Trump Heights.

[12][6] The government of Israel convened on June 16, 2019, at the planned location in the depopulated settlement of Brukhim, very close to Kela Alon in the north-west of the Golan Heights, and declared the establishment of the new settlement as gratitude to Donald Trump for support for Israel and recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights.

[24] A pre-military mechina boarding school was inaugurated in the settlement on November 7, 2019,[9] and it was reportedly attended by a community of teenagers by October 2020.

[6][14] The immediate area reportedly experienced an increase in tourism after the Trump Heights settlement was announced.

[37] The surrounding area has been described as a "largely treeless" volcanic plateau,[37][22] with tall grass and stray land mines.
