12:18PM IL: [PHOTOS & VIDEOS IN EXTENDED ARTICLE] Israelis are bracing for a day and a half of traffic snarls and transportation surprises as it is official, US President Donald Trump has arrived in Israel accompanied by the First Lady and a large delegation.
This marks the beginning of Operation Blue Shield, the massive security arrangements that surround the visit, which involves the US Secret Service, Shin Bet, Israel Police and other agencies. Israel Police reports over 10,000 persons are involved in security.
After the arrival of Air Force One, President Trump was met by a large welcoming ceremony including high-ranking state and military officials led by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and President Reuven Rivlin. Also present of course is US Ambassador to Israel, David Friedman.
The official ceremony is about to begin. Photos and videos to follow.

President Trump is the FIRST REAL US President, a REAL US leader FINALLY, to visit Israel. Even President Reagan, another real President, never went to Israel as President. What an honor for Israel to have a true ohev Yisroel as their guest. May he continue having siyatta Dishmaya every step of his way.
Just a little civics lesson, anyone elected to the presidency is/was a REAL President, whether you agree with or like them or not.
One who grabbed the POTUS fraudulently and illegally – as he admitted to the judge – accomplishing nothing in his 8 long years but tyranny, destroying American with his lawlessness, immorality; one who was nothing but a CIA puppet and is still out to continue his chaos, is not a leader and not a real President, but a crook and destroyer. B”H we finally got rid of him.
To the YWN editors: have you considered asking Arye for a list of his medications?
And what about George Washington? He was a big faker, no?
