US President Donald Trump will not be visiting Sheba Medical Center in Ramat Gan to meet with freed hostages after his Knesset speech, as previously planned, due to time constraints in his schedule, an Israeli source tells The Times of Israel.
Trump, who recently finished speaking at the Knesset, is already running considerably past his original planned departure time of 1:00 p.m., and is expected soon at a summit of world leaders convening in Egypt to advance his Gaza peace plan.
