After flying over Hostages Square in Tel Aviv, US President Donald Trump lands at Ben Gurion International Airport, where he is greeted by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Isaac Herzog.

The last time US presidential plane Air Force One was in Israel was shortly after the October 7, 2023, attacks, when then-president Joe Biden arrived on a solidarity visit.
