In a possible explanation to Donald Trump’s claim that his Florida meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was moved to Friday at the latter’s request, the new date coincides with the 33rd birthday of his eldest son Yair, who currently lives in Miami.

It will theoretically allow Netanyahu to spend Saturday in Florida, given that Israeli prime ministers don’t traditionally fly over the Sabbath.
