Obama about to leave hotel for Peres’s residence
Preamble: The Obama visit to Israel is under way in style. After warm speeches at the airport from the president and his hosts Shimon Peres and Benjamin Netanyahu, Obama visited an Iron Dome battery and then flew to Jerusalem by helicopter.
He’s taking a breather at the King David Hotel. Next stop is the President’s Residence.
