Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has instructed all his Cabinet ministers to attend the official greeting for President Donald Trump, after some of them planned on skipping the event.

The move Sunday is the latest in a series of last-minute schedule changes to a presidential visit far different from the meticulously-planned operations of the past.

Trump’s arrival was initially planned to include speeches and greetings with a long list of dignitaries on the tarmac of Israel’s international airport. Later, the White House asked for a brief ceremony to avoid the heat. As a result, most ministers were planning to skip the event.

The Haaretz newspaper reports that Netanyahu fumed at his ministers and ordered them all to attend Monday’s ceremony.

Netanyahu is eager to make a good impression on Trump during the president’s first trip abroad.
