With every gesture under the microscope, even the fact that Obama took off his jacket during the airport ceremonies is remarked upon. So, too, the fact that Netanyahu quickly did the same — so that the president wouldn’t be the only one to break protocol, according to this Facebook post.

What with all the emotion, the preparation, the waiting, “I thought I was going to faint,” says Romi Aviram, one of the young girls who serenaded the US leader at the President’s Residence. The only screw-up, she says, fetchingly missing a few teeth, was that the two presidents came toward them from the wrong side. Apart from that, “everything went fine.”
