Gideon Sa’ar: I don’t know any Israelis who don’t love America

“We’re taking the plastic covering off the red carpet,” says the coordinator of the ceremony at Ben-Gurion Airport to Army Radio.

Israel’s two commercial TV stations — Channel 2 and Channel 10 — have switched to nonstop Obama coverage, with crews at the airport and outside the King David Hotel in Jerusalem, and panels of analysts in the studio. State TV, Channel 1, is showing a recorded music program.

Various dignitaries are beginning to take their positions at the airport. Ministers, army top brass and others are making their way to their places. “I don’t know any Israelis who don’t love America,” says Interior Minister Gideon Sa’ar. “And I’m sure that will find expression during this visit.”
