The northern Israeli city of Kiryat Yam will name a new park after US President Donald trump in honor of his decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, Mayor David Even Tzur says.

“The president of the United States took a brave and unprecedented step that none of his predecessors were willing to take and we must honor him for it,” Tzur said in a statement announcing the decision to establish “Donald Trump Park.”
