‘I’d love to sit at a cafe and just hang out’
Levy asks Obama lightheartedly if there’s anything he’d really like to do in Israel and can’t.
“I’d love to sit at a cafe and just hang out,” he says. “Sometimes I have this fantasy that I can put on a disguise and wear a fake mustache” and wander into Tel Aviv, go to a university and speak to some students, “in a setting that wasn’t so formal.”
Still, on this trip, he says, he’s going to try to find opportunities to interact with Israeli people.
The lack of that kind of freedom to do what you want, he says, is “the toughest thing about being president.”
