They are honoring Trump in Israel. I think a road would have been typical. This seems a little weird, even if he has been a tremendous friend to Israel.

Israel Officially Changes a Town’s Name To Honor Trump
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave President Donald Trump a new honor Sunday when a settlement in the Golan Heights was named Trump Heights.
Netanyahu dedicated the settlement to Trump as a way of saying “thanks” for recognizing the Golan Heights as belonging to Israel.
The ceremony included unveiling a new sign with gold-plated letters reading “Trump Heights” that was surrounded by U.S. and Israeli flags, the Associated Press reported.
U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman said the settlement is “absolutely beautiful.”
He also noted it was an “appropriate” birthday present for President Trump, whose birthday was Friday.
“I can’t think of a more appropriate and a more beautiful birthday present,” he said.
“Few things are more important to the security of the state of Israel than permanent sovereignty over the Golan Heights. It is simply obvious, it is indisputable and beyond any reasonable debate,” the ambassador added.
He also tweeted about the ceremony, calling it a “great day on the Golan.”
