Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday scrapped plans to fly to Washington with his family on a private plane and said he would instead travel with the official delegation.
The reversal came after Israeli media reported that Netanyahu, his wife and two sons would be taking a separate flight to Washington for the White House ceremony marking the normalization of relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates.

The decision prompted Israeli three news TV channels 11, 12, and 13, to announce that they will therefore not send their reporters to cover the ceremony and suffice with the coverage offered by news agencies. Once reversed, the news channels said they will send reporters to cover the ceremony as planned.
