At the last minute, the United States canceled — for logistical reasons — a festive dinner in Jerusalem at the King David Hotel scheduled for Monday night between Israeli and American officials.

The delegations were set to be headed by Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman and US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.

The more private dinner between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump along with their wives, Sara and Melania, will still be held as scheduled.

Netanyahu and Trump will also hold a working meeting at the King David prior to the dinner."
