Israel Announces "Donald Trump Train Station" in Jerusalem - Israel Today

Israel Announces "Donald Trump Train Station" in Jerusalem

Wednesday, December 27, 2017 |  Israel Today Staff
Israel Railways has decided to name the final stop on its soon-to-open high-speed Tel Aviv-Jerusalem line after US President Donald Trump, reported Yediot Ahronot.
The much-anticipated rail line was originally supposed to terminate at a new station being built adjacent to Jerusalem's Central Bus Station and the International Convention Center (known locally as Binyanei Haumah).
But an underground extension was added taking the train to the entrance of the Old City of Jerusalem. About a year ago, Transportation Minister Israel Katz proposed another extension, taking the train (again, underground) all the way to the Western Wall.
That final station near the Western Wall is the one Israel Railways intends to name "Donald John Trump Train Station."
That honor is being bestowed in recognition of Trump's decision to finally recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, as a matter of official US foreign policy.
