I thought these photos were interesting. I do not remember hearing of how badly the trip ended. I like the imagery of the uprooting of the olive tree due to the high winds and the darkening of the skies and cancellation of the farewell speech. Very fitting for the lying sack of crap that runs this world:

Ben Gurion olive tree uprooted by wind - Photo/Tomar Appelbaum
The olive tree is a symbol of peace and of Israel. No small koinkydink that this symbol was destroyed during the official visit by the A/C, on Passover, nonetheless.

Obama farewell tent blown over - Photo/Ohad Zwigenberg (speech was canceled). Good. Most all of us have heard plenty enough from that lying, blowhard.
Notice the ferocity of the wind. All flags are erect into the wind with several of the poles bent.

And the grounded airplanes at Ben Gurion. I flight tested the 757VCX in the foreground and almost caught it on fire during a flame/smoke detection test in what I affectionately called the "Monica Lewinsky" stateroom. That was back in 1997.
