More on Trump's visit to Israel

ITINERARY: TRUMP’S ISRAEL VISIT SAID TO INCLUDE STOPS AT MASADA, WESTERN WALL. A partial schedule for US President Donald Trump's much-expected visit to Israel has been released; Masada, the Western Wall and Yad Vashem are some of the highlights in his two-day stop (JTA via the Jerusalem Post). There have been conflicting reports on whether a visit to the Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum will be included. As far as I can work out, though, the issue being negotiated is the length of the visit rather than whether it takes place.

Meanwhile, PARKS AUTHORITY PREPARES MASADA FOR POTENTIAL TRUMP VISIT (Sharon Udasin, Jerusalem Post).

Background here and here.
