Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu instructs all Israeli cabinet ministers to attend the welcoming ceremony for US President Donald Trump tomorrow at 12:15 p.m. at Ben Gurion Airport, a senior Israeli official says.

Ministers are reportedly saying they are angry that they are not slated to be part of the receiving line on the airport tarmac and so won’t be shaking Trump’s hand after he disembarks from Air Force One.

Netanyahu makes the demand at a meeting of coalition party leaders Sunday morning.
