While Witkoff addressed thousands of gathered Israeli who waved in American flags, every mention of the American President Donald Trumpa caused a thunderous applause, writes CNN.
However, when Witkoff tried to talk about Netanyahu, the crowd replied with the waves of noisy whistles.

Every time he tried to express his gratitude to the Israeli leader and his main negotiator, Ron Dermer, gathered would interrupt him.
In the end, Witkoff said: “People, let me finish this thought; trust me, they have a major role here.”
Netanyahu’s critics accuse him of extension of war and avoidance of responsibilities for safety failures that led to the attack on 7. October.
It is also charged with sabotage negotiations on gap release and the end of the war. Unlike Witkoff and Kushner, Netanyahu never visited the hostage square, which is the last two years central gathering place.
The whistles made to the Prime Minister caused sharp reactions of his ally and supporters. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Justice Yariv Levin called the incident “great shame”. “It was a shameful overview of terrible ungratefulness to Netanyahu, who led the state of Israel through one of her most difficult periods and achieved huge achievements we witnessed in the past two years,” Levin said.
