US President Joe Biden landed at Ben Gurion Airport on Wednesday at about 3:15 p.m. Biden was accompanied to Israel by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan.
He was greeted by Prime Minister Yair Lapid, Alternate Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and President Isaac Herzog in a welcoming ceremony on the tarmac.
Biden and Lapid each spoke briefly and Biden was then provided with a tour of Israeli security systems at the airport, including an Iron Dome missile defense system and the new Iron Beam laser rocket defense system.
He will then visit Yad Vashem with Lapid and Defense Minister Benny Gantz, both sons of Holocaust survivors, and meet two Holocaust survivors who immigrated to the US after the Holocaust.

all of the above aren’t included in what I consider a great world, all directly related to a bogus ballad
Go home, Joe.
What about all the other homo-sapiens who land or take off? Where do they fit in to this picture?
Whoop de doo

Was an earthquake in Israel Wednesday morning. Enough of a signal that the president should go back to the US,
Hopefully, no interior designers in EY have their clients looking for any red carpeting since the country’s entire stock has been installed on the tarmac at BG Airport

Biden doesn’t shake hands with any of the Israelis, and the administration claims it’s new Covid policy. But all the other Americans getting off the plane eight behind Biden shake everyone’s hand.
