Golan welcomes Netanyahu initiative

The Golan Regional Council welcomed Prime Minister Netanyahu's announcement that he intends to name a settlement in the Golan after US President Donald Trump.

"This decision is consistent with the aspiration and goal we've set to double the number of Golan residents within a decade. The Golan is Israel's nature reserve and we're preserving its uniqueness for the future," the council noted.

Prime Minister Netanyahu, his wife Sara and sons Yair and Avner toured the Golan Heights today. The family toured Sa'ar River, Nimrod Fortress, drover Rangers in Merom Golan and visited Mount Hermon.
