On the welcoming committee from the US side were Trump’s daughter Ivanka, his son-in-law Jared Kushner, special envoy Steve Whitcoff and US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee.

In fact, at the moment when those gathered in Homer Square were informed of the landing of Air Force One, they erupted in a chant of “thank you” for the US president.
