When Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, Kevin McCarthy, landed in Israel Sunday afternoon on an official visit, he probably did not expect that several hours later, he would be watching his host, Speaker of the Knesset Amir Ohana, on stage performing an American Classic Rock hit.
That is exactly what transpired Sunday evening during the welcome dinner held in the American politician's honor at the Knesset when Ohana got on stage and proceeded to play a nearly five-and-a-half-minute guitar rendition of The Eagles' 1976 hit 'Hotel California.'
Ohana was flanked by Kfir Ohayon, one of the world's leading Israeli guitarists.
McCarthy arrived in Israel earlier in the day for a three-day visit, during which he will be the second US House Speaker to address the Knesset and the first since 1998.
