Even before the progress made this week toward moving the embassies of the Czech Republic, Romania, and Honduras, Gallant had already sent a letter to Construction Ministry director-general Hegai Roznik and chief architect Vered Solomon-Maman last Friday, asking them to form a task force that will immediately begin working on finding an appropriate site for many embassies in the capital.

In the letter, which was obtained exclusively by The Jerusalem Post, Galant asked the top figures in his ministry to start working on solutions to house the workers of the embassies.

Following the letter, Roznik, Solomon-Maman and other ministry officials met this week and started working on a plan.

Better get your prime spot now. Otherwise, your embassy may be in the low rent part of Embassy Row.

I prefer the term “Trump Quarter”.

Also, on every corner of Trump Quarter there should be cast iron street lights that are 2 foot square and 20 feet high that have the best of President Trump's tweets embossed on every side that are enameled in white with blue incised letters so that they can be read in perpetuity.
