SAN JOSE, California — Over a hundred protesters await Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s convoy as he exits San Jose’s airport at 6:30 a.m. local time.

The demonstrators wave Israeli flags, blow horns and hold signs that read “Save our Start-Up Nation” and “Netanyahu tears Israel apart.”

A small group of protesters also rally against the premier at the San Jose hotel where he is heading.
