Our correspondent went out to meet the residents of the settlement named after the 45th President of the United States.


The Trump level is vibrant even in the Joe Biden era.

In an article that will be published this weekend in the "Shishvat" supplement, we went out to meet the local residents, exactly three years after the announcement of the establishment of the settlement.

We have come across some veterans who have been living on the hill for several decades and are now enjoying the new infrastructure, the paved road and the electricity that has been connected;

We met young people who were addicted to disconnection and looking for values ​​and Zionism;

We discovered a dispute over land, a struggle with neighbors machine gun oak, and a vision for 99 new homes within five years.

"Not the most comfortable, but what a pioneer we are, who will hear," laughs local resident Alik Goldberg.

"In the end I have internet at home, just like your internet in Tel Aviv, and the deliveries come here straight from the writer."

Although Alik does not agree with everything the previous president of the United States did, American recognition of the Golan Heights is infinitely important to him. Named after?

Trump's personality is problematic for me, but in the end he will also be remembered for his American recognition of the Golan Heights - a significant milestone regarding where I live today.

"In 2022, it will be difficult to speak in terms of pure Zionism, but the small operation of establishing a settlement is still significant in itself, probably in this part of the country."

For Ariel, 40, the elder of the new settlement at the Trump level, this is his second marriage.

He is one of the first to have three older children who live two hours' drive, in Harish in the northeast of the Sharon.

"My parents are from the Jerusalem area," he adds, "admitting that I was afraid of the distance, because I want to be the best father for my children, and the natural movement was to try to get closer to them. But we decided to stay, and we do not regret.

One of the considerations in the transition was the understanding that the Trump level was destined to be a mixed secular-religious locality.

Ariel is originally from Kochav Hashahar, a religious settlement in the Binyamin Mountains, while his partner Dafna grew up in Moshav Shavei Zion, near Nahariya.

"First of all, the community winked at us," says Dafna. To which school to send them - religious or state.

The full article will be published on Friday in the "Shishvat" supplement.
