Israel's National Security Advisor was the first to notice: Something is wrong with this microphone.
Jared Kushner was warned, but still started answering questions about the first flight from Israel to the United Arab Emirates.
Suddenly:
In his role as US mediator in the Middle East peace process, Donald Trump's son-in-law had to learn to be patient and persistent.
Try number two.
Finally, Kushner takes matters into his own hands and can finally announce his prepared message.
Jared Kushner, U.S. Special Advisor for the Middle East:
"In the last few years I've been studying the Middle East, there has been a feeling of hopelessness here. There has been conflict, war and division. But now three great leaders came together to write the script for a new Middle East write."
Shortly before these words, the first direct commercial flight from Israel to a Gulf state landed in Abu Dhabi.
A high-ranking delegation from Israel and the USA was on board.
Including Jared Kushner, husband of Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka and US special adviser for the Middle East.
The return flight should take place on Tuesday.
Hopefully the timid rapprochement process between Israel and the Gulf States is not quite as shaky as the technology on the runway.
