4. I don't know. I don't think they're there yet.

I do know that Bibi had to order people to show up for the brief airport ceremony. It was supposed to be a bigger deal, but it's been cut back to a perfunctory level.

I don't think Israel is really that much of a priority for the Dumpster. He's showing up there more or less as a formality, and the Israelis have put the kibosh on his dramatic helicopter landing on Masada. I don't know if he's still going to visit the Western Wall, either. Israel said he wouldn't have security support if he went there.

Perhaps he'll just fly in, spend a night at the hotel there, take a meeting or two and skedaddle off to Rome, so he can give the Pope a piece or two of his mind. Of course, he has only a piece or two of his mind, so that's all he can offer.
