Israel’s government has decided to honor President Donald Trump by naming a train station next to Judaism’s holiest prayer site, the Western Wall in Jerusalem, after him.

“The Western Wall is the holiest place for the Jewish people, and I decided to name the train station that leads to it after president Trump—following his historic and brave decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of the State of Israel,” said Transportation Minister Israel Katz, the Jerusalem Post reported.
