sintesi principale
Il primo ministro Benjamin Netanyahu ha chiesto a tutti i ministri del governo di partecipare alla cerimonia di accoglienza del presidente americano Donald Trump all'aeroporto internazionale Ben-Gurion  lunedì. Un funzionario israeliano senior ha affermato che Netanyahu ha emesso le sue istruzioni dopo aver scoperto che la maggior parte dei ministri non  voleva partecipare all'evento.e questo lo ha reso furioso

Nelle ultime due settimane i progetti di accoglienza di Trump all'aeroporto Ben-Gurion  sono stati cambiati.  Inizialmente si era  ipotizzata  una cerimonia lunga con discorsi e  strette di mano con tutti i ministri del governo e altri funzionari statali ,ma  la Casa Bianca  ha richiesto una cerimonia più breve  a causa del clima caldo:solo gli inni dei due paesi, strette di mano tra Trump e Netanyahu e  il presidente israeliano Reuven Rivlin
Conseguentemente i  ministri sono stati informati che sono stati invitati, ma che devono arrivare due ore e mezzo in anticipo per  un controllo di sicurezza. Inoltre vedranno la cerimonia dai margini e non stringeranno le mani  a Trump. La  maggior parte dei ministri ha dichiarato di non partecipare.

During a Sunday meeting of coalition heads, Netanyahu was notified that there would be a sparse attendance of ministers at the reception and that most party heads wouldn't participate in it. Netanyahu was furious and blew up the meeting, a senior official who attended the meeting said. Immediately afterwards, the Prime Minister's Bureau issued an instruction to all government ministers according to which they must participate in the airport reception.

Over the last two weeks the plans for Trump's reception at Ben-Gurion Airport have seen many changes. The first plans called for a long ceremony, which included speeches and handshakes with all cabinet ministers and other senior state officials who would welcome Trump on the tarmac. But the plans were cut per the White House's request, which noted that they wanted the reception to be as short as possible due to the warm weather and to include only the two countries' anthems, handshakes between Trump and Netanyahu, Israeli President Reuven Rivlin and Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein, as well as a guard of honor.

In light of those changes, the ministers were at first disinvited from the reception. However, on Saturday evening the plans changed again, and the ministers were informed that they are in fact invited, but that they must arrive two and a half hours in advance and that they will have to undergo a security check. In addition, they will only view the ceremony from the sidelines and will not shake hands with Trump. The Foreign Ministry told the ministers that attendance was not mandatory.

As a result, most ministers said they will not attend.
