President Barack Obama was seen impatiently waiting for former President Bill Clinton who was delaying their departure back to the United States on Air Force One at Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv after attending the funeral of former Israeli President Shimon Peres. Clinton was reportedly chatting on the tarmac with the Secretary of the State John Kerry, while President Obama was standing inside the plane growing more and more impatient. The current president, who is known for his relatively calm and cool demeanor, appeared as if he couldn’t wait for Clinton to finish his conversation. With his suit jacket off and his sleeves rolled up, he sighed, clapped three times and then shouted from the plane’s entryway twice, “Bill, let’s go!”

Moments later, with a talkative Clinton still not on the aircraft, the visibly exasperated but still smiling President returned to the entryway and tried again yelling, “Bill! Let’s go. We gotta go home!” The two presidents were reportedly due back to the capital at dinner time.
Eventually, Clinton was finally ready to make the journey back to Washington, D.C., and joined Obama on the plane with a quick pat on the back.
