German Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s plane had to be evacuated at Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport on Tuesday evening due to rocket attacks.

Pictures and videos posted on social media show how aides and journalists traveling with the German leader had to hastily leave the plane and take cover by lying down on the runway, while Scholz was reportedly evacuated to a shelter.

Will the same or something similar (evacuation, taken to shelter, taking cover, etc.) happen to Joe Biden during his visit to Israel? Resolves according to major media coverage.

This one will resolve NO - nothing to support a YES resolution. No media coverage of "evacuation, taken to shelter, taking cover, etc."

For now assuming this did not happen. Biden has left the country. Will keep an eye on media reports - but so far "Just as Biden leaves, rocket fire from Gaza on central Israel." suggests they took a break. Carriers work, I guess!

Would that amount to a declaration of war on the USA?

bought Ṁ40 of NO

@YairNeumann No

predicted YES

AF1 has touched down at Ben Gurion.

More likely scenario: A handful of rockets from Gaza fired at Tel Aviv for anti-American signalling purposes. Air alarm is triggered. Protocol in place. President goes to safe room.

Bit of a whack question to scope out potential scenarios: How much would Iran enjoy watching media coverage of Biden being rushed to some bunker? Mighty America cowering in fear kinda stuff. Is this when/how Hezbollah joins the fight? How would they weigh that against the American carrier presence in the Med? They are still big mad at the U.S. over the whole Qasem Soleimani thing.

Doesn't seem likely, but worth thinking about in any case.
