Kanaf Zion, Israel’s official state plane for leaders was formerly a rented plane, but now is an Israeli-owned and customized 2nd-hand modified Boeing 767-338ER bought from Australia Airlines; and this is the first trip an Israeli PM has made a USA trip in 4 years.

The plane’s name means “Wing of Zion” in English, and this is the first flight that this particular plane has carried an Israeli leader. Bibi persuaded several hostage families, both current and former, to join on this trip. Other families declined but said they don’t hold ill will for those who accepted.
Rescued hostage Noa Argamani and father Yaakov are among those who did join this flight. She was recently brought back from Gaza to Israel in that daring and deadly rescue mission where she was imprisoned by Gazan civilians. Her boyfriend Avinatan Or remains in captivity. While on the plane her father Yaakov Argamani called for a minyan of 10 men to cite Kaddish in memory of his recently deceased wife (and Noa’s mother) Liora Argamani, who was born in China. Some of the Israeli hostage families declined Bibi’s invitation to travel to the USA with him. If Netanyahu’s meetings become delayed until Friday, he and his team will stay in the USA until after sunset Saturday night to observe the Shabbat.
Let’s pray for YAH’s plans to be fulfilled thru Bibi’s meetings with joint houses of Congress, as well as lame duck President Biden, and VP Harris; Bibi has asked candidate & former President Trump for a meeting, but Trump has not declined nor agreed as he has a rally scheduled Wed evening in Charlotte, NC.
