The Zionist regime of Israel approved funding on Sunday for a new settlement in the occupied Golan Heights that will be named after the US President Donald Trump.

Iran Press/ Middle East: Israel's cabinet approved $2.3 million in funding in order to take practical steps to start building the "Ramat Trump" — or Trump Heights — as a gesture of gratitude for Trump's decision to recognize Israeli sovereignty over the occupied Golan Heights on March 25 of last year.

It is important to advance the decision to establish the settlement at this time to strengthen the political ties between Israel and the United States, the cabinet said in a statement.

Plans for the new settlement have been in the works for over a year.
