Erdan tells Trump about nonexistent terror attack
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePublic Security Minister Gilad Erdan commits what may be the first faux pas of the trip, telling Trump as he shakes hands with all the ministers in Netanyahu’s cabinet about an “incident” that occurred earlier today in Tel Aviv.
Erdan is referring to a car-ramming in southern Tel Aviv that left it left one person seriously injured and others lightly hurt and sparked fears of a terror attack — but was quickly ruled an accident by police investigators.
Erdan has spent the past four hours waiting for Trump at the airport. He may not be getting real-time updates from police in the field.
