In the ancient city of Jerusalem, a new square will soon appear. More precisely, the square itself has existed for a long time, but now it will be given a name reflecting a new turn in history. The name will be long and complex, but local townsmen do not mind such trifles. The main thing is that they will have "US Square in honor of President Donald Trump". This is the only way, according to the Mayor of Jerusalem, Nir Barkat, grateful Israelis will be able to express the entire degree of gratitude to the American leader, who decided to take such a daring step - to declare Jerusalem the capital of Israel. "President Trump decided to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of the Jewish people, stand on the side of truth and do the right thing. To name the square in his honor is our way of showing love and respect to the president and the American people, who always stands on the side of Israel, "Barkat quotes RIA Novosti. Trump Square will appear at the intersection of David Flosser and Kfar Etzion Streets, near the new US Embassy building. The grand opening of the tablet with the name of the city municipality plans to be held in a few months - when the American diplomats will finally move to Jerusalem. Earlier, the US Embassy in Israel was located in Tel Aviv.

There are also diplomatic missions of other states, since the status of Jerusalem is one of the most acute issues in confronting Israelis and Palestinians and the world is waiting for them to agree. In December 2017 g. Donald Trump said that henceforth Washington will consider Jerusalem as the official capital of Israel, and refused to take into account the claims of other peoples. After that, the conflict escalated in the Middle East. Despite the pressure of Washington, the UN General Assembly refused to follow the example of the United States.
