Meanwhile, Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett and Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills have pulled out of an Israeli government-sponsored trip to Israel next week. In an open letter that referenced Muhammad Ali and quoted Olympian John Carlos, Bennett said, “When I do go to Israel—and I do plan to go—it will be to see not only Israel but also the West Bank and Gaza so I can see how the Palestinians, who have called this land home for thousands of years, live their lives.” President Trump is meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu this week. Trump is also meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau today.
