Kulanu MK Michael Oren and former IDF chief of staff Gabi Ashkenazi are spotted at the Mount Herzl cemetery.

The honor guard practices its salute while Israeli media mingling at the site speculates on the meaning of Obama’s lack of a meeting with Netanyahu.

At the Knesset, the Kaddish mourner’s prayer is recited. A small gathering of family members looks on as the casket is placed into the hearse.
