Jerusalem (CNN)Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has demanded his government ministers attend the arrival ceremony of US President Donald Trump on Monday morning after several of them said they were going to skip it, according to the office of one of the ministers.
The minister's office, which spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the visit, told CNN that a number of ministers intended to skip the arrival ceremony at Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport because it is expected to be brief.
Trump is expected to shake only the hands of Netanyahu and Israeli President Reuven Rivlin.
When Netanyahu realized the number of ministerial no-shows, he made attendance mandatory, the minister's office told CNN.

if this were Obama instead? But then again it would have been Baby Netty who would have been reluctant to show up. (Even though Obama never outed an Israeli intel source to the Russians, but ok).
