Angered by the news that several of his colleagues planned to skip a welcoming ceremony for President Donald Trump , Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday made attendance to the event mandatory for cabinet members.

Netanyahu became incensed when he learned during a meeting with coalition leaders that several ministers were not planning to attend Trumps arrival at Ben-Gurion International Airport the following day, several Israeli news outlets reported over the weekend.

Netanyahus cabinet secretary had informed the prime minister that some ministers did not want to attend because they would have had to wait several hours on the tarmac for Trumps arrival, according to The Jerusalem Post. While The Times of Israel reported other ministers had argued they didnt want to cancel their regular plans given that the American president wasnt even planning to shake their hands.

Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon, Culture and Sports Minister Miri Regev, and Tourism Minister Yariv Levin were among those cabinet members planning to skip the ceremony.
