WH travel pool note #2

POTUS boarded AF1 at 4:35pm

He briefly spoke to press but did not answer questions. He emphasized what a proud moment this is.

Rough transcript:

This is going to be a very special time. And I guess if you read your own papers and your own networks, everybody's very excited about this moment in time, so I'll see you on the plane. I think you're traveling with us, but this is a very special event. They had 500,000 people yesterday and today, in Israel, and also the Muslim and Arab countries are all cheering. Everybody's cheering at one time. That's never happened before. Usually, if you have one cheering, the other isn't the other is the opposite. This is the first time everybody is amazed and they're thrilled, and it's an honor to be involved, and we're gonna have an amazing time, and it's gonna be something that's never, never happened before. So I'll see you on the plane, and we're gonna have a good time. Okay? Peter, nice to see you. Thank you, everybody over you.
