Awkward moment Melania Trump slaps away Donald Trump's hand on Israel visit
ONALD TRUMP suffered an embarrassing moment when wife Melania Trump shunned his offer to hold hands as they landed in Tel Aviv as part of their visit to Israel.
The First Lady slapped away the President’s hand, in front of the world’s media, as they were greeted by Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and wife, Sara, who walked side by side as they left.
With Mr Netanyahu and his partner holding hands as they strolled down the red carpet, President Trump offered the same gesture to his wife.
However, the First Lady appears to bat away his hand as they continue their journey away from Air Force One.Among the officially invited guests at Ben Gurion airport were Israeli ministers, security figures and religious leaders.
Some ministers had been offered to attend after it was reported a number had planned to skip President Trump’s reception.
Commenting on the moment, Niraj Warikoo of the Detroit Free Press said: “It appears First Lady Melania Trump slaps away President Trump’s hand as he reaches to hold it while on the tarmac in Israel.”
