It has already been reported just how MK (Likud) Oren Chazan embarrassed Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and the State of Israel for compelling President Donald J. Trump to take a selfie with him at the official welcoming ceremony in Ben-Gurion Airport.

The speaker earlier in the week explained the reason President Trump did not speak in Knesset is because they could not guarantee there would not be shouts, reflecting poorly on MKs. Nevertheless explained the speaker, they were unwilling to gamble and the visiting president spoke at the Israel Museum instead”.
