Donald Trump Arrives in Israel, Will Push Peace Process
NBC News, May 22, 2017, Abigail Williams

TEL AVIV, Israel — President Donald Trump arrived in Tel Aviv on Monday, hoping to help push forward what he's described as the "ultimate deal" — peace between Israelis and Palestinians.

"Welcome, our good friend," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said while greeting Trump after he stepped off Air Force One.

Despite the formality of the occasion, Netanyahu and Trump swapped banter on the red carpet.

"What is the protocol?" Trump asked. "Do you have any idea?"

"I think they'll just tell us where to stand," Netanyahu replied as they walked toward their predetermined spots to listen to the national anthem.

Trump later said he was "very, very honored" to be visiting the country, highlighting that he came "to this sacred and ancient land to reaffirm the unbreakable bond between the United States and the state of Israel."

He added: "We have before us a rare opportunity to bring stability, security and peace to this region and its people — defeating terrorism."
Trump's two-day visit will include separate meetings with Netanyahu and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. Trump also plans to visit the Holocaust memorial Yad Vashem and the Western Wall, an important key Jewish holy site.

In April, Trump said he was convinced that an end to the violence was within reach.

"I want to see peace with Israel and the Palestinians," he told Reuters a week before meeting with Abbas at the White House. "There is no reason there's not peace between Israel and the Palestinians — none whatsoever."

White House aides have played down expectations for significant progress on the peace process during Trump's stop, casting it as more symbolic than substantive.

Re:  Melania Trump

Just heard on FNC ... landing in SA Melania wore a version of the traditional black abaya and landing in Israel Melania is wearing white, one of the colors of the Israeli flag and a color of solidarity. 

Nice and perfectly on point.   ^-^

Melania and Sara's joint schedule
PM Netanyahu's wife to tour Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital with President Trump's wife Melania.
Israeli National News, May 22, 2017

Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's wife Sara and US President Donald Trump's wife Melania will visit Jerusalem's Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital on Monday.

The two women will speak with the doctors and nurses, as well as do an art activity with some of the hospitalized children.

On Monday, the Netanyahus will host the Trump's in the Prime Minister's residence in Jerusalem for supper. During the visit, the two leaders will hold a private meeting.

When the Netanyahus visited the Trumps in February, the women held a private meeting in the White House. During the meeting, Melania surprised Sara with a proposal to visit Washington's National Museum of African American History and Culture.

She wore black landing in Saudi Arabia, but I wouldn't call that an abaya.  It didn't hide her figure, not with that gold belt.

Well, good for you @thackney .... but the women of Saudi Arabia disagree with you.

Saudi women already began posting images of themselves wearing “Melania-style” abayas. Jeddah-based Nahed Andijani, owner of Trendy Sketch PR, shared a picture of her abaya, which looks almost the same — all black with a golden rose in the middle.

I am surprised that even the men have their head 'covered' at the Western Wall, but only my girlfriend, Ivanka, wore a hat.

...a beautiful hat, I might add.

Trump Becomes First Sitting U.S. President to Visit Western Wall
NBC News, May 22, 2017

President Donald Trump placed a note in the Western Wall on Monday, becoming the first sitting U.S. president to visit one of Judaism's holiest sites.

The historic visit is part of Trump's efforts to highlight "the need for unity among three of the world's great religions" on his first foreign trip, senior administration officials said. Trump's stop at the Western Wall came between Sunday's visit to Saudi Arabia where he called on Muslim leaders to "drive out the terrorists and extremists," and his forthcoming visit with Pope Francis at the Vatican.

Trump, joined by First Lady Melania Trump, daughter Ivanka Trump, and son-in-law and adviser Jared Kushner, visited the the Church of the Holy Sepulchre before the Western Wall.

The Western Wall is not officially recognized as Israeli territory, and the Trump administration has not been clear about whether they believe the holy site is part of Israel.

George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama each visited the Western Wall as private citizens or candidates. None of them was accompanied by an Israeli prime minister, and current Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu did not join Trump for his visit. The two leaders and their wives will have dinner at Netanyahu's residence Monday evening.
