More than 10,000 Israeli police officers, counterterrorism officials and border police will secure US President Donald Trump and his 1,000-member entourage during his visit to Israel.
There will be full security cooperation between Israel Police and American security personnel during the two-day visit, Israel Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld tells JTA on Sunday, a day ahead of Trump’s arrival in Israel.
Trump will stay in Jerusalem’s King David Hotel in a bomb-proof, poison gas-proof and bulletproof hotel room built to withstand the collapse of the entire building, NBC News reports Sunday. It also will be protected by bomb-proof glass being brought from the United States, according to the report.
Every bit of food ingested by Trump and his family will first go through a tester, according to the report.
All of the hotel’s 233 rooms will be occupied by people involved in the Trump visit.
