Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has inaugurated a controversial new settlement in the disputed Golan Heights, named after US President Donald Trump.

Surrounding a large table, Israel's cabinet met under a tent in the north of the Golan to name the planned settlement, in the presence of US ambassador to Israel David Friedman.

Outside the tent, a sign bearing the name of the settlement was unveiled shortly after an announcement to local officials.Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, United States Ambassador to Israel David Friedman and their wives.Construction of the settlement is planned in an area currently occupied by four settler families.

Vladimir Pelopzerkovski, a resident of one of the mobile homes, said he spoke to the Israeli premier and told him he hoped such promises would be kept.Some 23,000 Druze - an Arab Muslim minority also present in Syria and Lebanon - live in the occupied and annexed portion of the Golan, while 25,000 Israeli settlers have arrived there since 1967.

Trump's embassy decision broke with decades of international consensus not to recognise the city as the capital of Israel, which took over mainly Palestinian east Jerusalem in the Six-Day War and later annexed it. Israel considers the entire city its capital, but the Palestinians see east Jerusalem as the capital of their future state.

Israel stole the Golan Hts from Syria.

susanmddem Just a sign ... a bloody big sign !!! No settlement .. no village .. just the cooperation of two criminals .. Netanyahu and Trump ... and the criminal heights they go to ..!!!!

He did that because Trump loves being flattered. This is Benjamin's way of saying 'thank you for helping me win my campaign.'

This has gone beyond the pale

SBS Of course!

Your tweets of negativity need a mirror for your words of in-justice for Jews, Palestines and for the conquered indigenous people of America. So when are you packing and leaving the US? See how stupid that sounds? Your not going anywhere. Nothings perfect.

So is this area specifically designated for harboring Russian mobsters, former released Trump administration members that hasn't testified against Trump, and future prostitutes to give Golden Showers while jumping on mattresses for Trump to watch? Wonderful, just wonderful. Sicos

🤢🤑

Disgusting!

Tell me this is TheOnion. Or that nationallampoon is still going.

tates5a disgusting, but that's Netanyahu AND trump.

Netanyahu is cunning, he's decided to name an illegal, immoral, settlement built on occupied territory that displaced the legitimate owners without compensation, after Trump. No doubt Trump will be over the moon.

Outstanding.

Wow. ('Israel seized the Golan Heights from Syria in the closing stages of the 1967 Six-Day War.')
