How cool would that be? Bibi Netanyahu attending Donald Trump’s inauguration on January 20th. While there has been no confirmation yet if he will attend or not, the Trump team is ‘aggressively’ pursuing Netanyahu to attend. Netanyahu is said to be considering traveling to Washington for swearing-in ceremony. What a nice middle finger this would be to Hussein before he takes the helicopter away from the White House one last time.

U.S. president-elect’s White House transition team has been “aggressively” pursuing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to attend the inauguration ceremony in Washington, DC later this month, the New York Post reported on Sunday.
“There’s a plan for Trump to meet with Netanyahu,” a source close to the transition team said, according to the paper.“They’re talking all the time. And Netanyahu is talking about possibly going to the inauguration,” the source was quoted as saying.
The report said Trump staffers, led by son-in-law Jared Kushner, were “aggressively courting” the Israeli prime minister in an effort to persuade him to attend the January 20 ceremony.
Netanyahu’s tense relationship with outgoing US President Barack Obama was exacerbated in recent weeks, after the White House publicly clashed with Israel over its West Bank policy and later declined to veto a UN Security Council resolution condemning settlements.
