Jerusalem deputy mayor pushes to rename King George street after UK sanctions on settlements

Deputy Mayor Aryeh King submitted the request Wednesday morning to Jerusalem Mayor Moshe Lion, who also serves as chairman of the street naming committee.

Streets in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem are named after Britain’s King George V due to the Balfour Declaration supporting the establishment of a national home for the Jewish people in what was then known as Palestine, which was issued during his reign.
