It was Meet the Press for Austin on his last day in Israel,
Press Conference this morning. Overall message. Let's promote peace. - Aus10
but he also got to do a few more things before he flew back to the United States.
Yesterday, they were briefed by General Yossi Kupperwasser, the Deputy Director General of the Israeli Ministry of Strategic Affairs before they went to Masada and their swim in the Dead Sea.
Sunday night they met with Minister Yuli Edelstein, Israel's Minister of Diaspora and Public Affairs. After the briefing they went to dinner at Eucalyptus Restaurant, and enjoyed the food and the explanation of the famous spices and foods of the Holy Land by the Master Chef Moshe Basson.
Today they met with a senior advisor to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
And toured the Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum in Museum.
And spoke to the press about their time in Israel and posed for pictures with Public Diplomacy and Diaspora Affairs Minister, Yuli Edelstein.
And yes, met more fans!
While Austin was meeting the press, was Jake making the press?
New pictures of Jake from Saturday popped up this morning.
Was he playing the "you see me here but I'm already gone" card to make it seem like he's in New York longer. Where or when will he pop up next?

Another exciting day for Austin and crew. This has been wonderful. :)
It has been exciting to see all that Austin experienced during this trip. What an honor for him and I bet he learned so much. I am sure he was tremendously impacted at the Holocaust museum.
I am just amazed at the number of fans tweeting at him during the past week. Who would've thought? So many fans asking to meet him, where was he, was he still at the hotel, how nice it was to actually meet & talk with him, travel tips, etc. What an experience for him. I'm sure he was a great representative for the U.S.
Thanks for bringing all of this to us, Special - great job. There was a lot to check out and you saved some of us quite a few downloads. LOLLL!
And I don't mean why would no one want to tweet at him - he gets lots of tweets from OTH fans, but what are they tweeting? "Please wish me happy birthday! Please DM me! Will you please retweet?" Just a bunch of gimme, gimme, gimme's.
It was refreshing to see the substance of these tweets and what amazed me was that here in the U.S., he goes basically unrecognized.
Way to go, fans of Israel - you are on it!
Is it just me or does Jake seem to be doing a Joaquin Phoenix impersonation in those NY photos...
The more I see of Austin, the more I like. Hope he and Jake get some serious family time after this latest trip.
Austin has had quite a year: Grand Marshall of a parade and now as an ambassador of the U.S. (sort of). Two honors in one year - pretty snazzy, Aust.
And Jake? no comment at this time, thank you.
Well, took a big honkin' plate of the ol' almond bark covered pretzels into work this morning and they were snarfed up like nobody's business. Not many were left by the end of the day; enough for the night whse super. And I found out today that I have 3 vacation days unused!!! What a nice surprise. Don't know how they're going to get squeezed in, though.
And wearing my new spectacles tonight; trying to get used to them. I had no-lines before and that's what these are, but they're still a little funny to look through.
Here's another brief article and another picture of Austin at Yad Vashem's Holocaust History Museum.
The dome is filled with pictures of those who died, and around the room,are notebooks. The names of each of the 6 million killed in the Holocaust are listed in those books.

Wow - three vacations days PG. Bet you find a way to squeeze them in.

@katieryan_ its probably for the best. 8 gushing sorority girls trying to force feed him cookies might be overwhelming/terrifying for him.

Quite the contrast right now with Jake and Austin. Our boy Austin on a peace initiative trip. Jake wandering around aimlessly from exercise class to restaurants. I guess someone had to stay home with the kids.
Troll time for you to toddle off to bed.
Well, well, well......
A new nudie pic (photoshop?) of our Mr. Gyllenhaal just beginning to make the rounds on Twitter this morning.
Boy, at 4:50 in the morning, a real eye opener. LOLLLLLL!!
I don't know....it's tricky. For one thing, his head looks pretty big in proportion to the body but the bodytype is very similar to Jake's, triangle shape. You have the very narrow hips and glimpse of tiny heiney.
But the only thing is, this body is very manscaped.
I have to get ready to go in early to work this morning but you guys'll see it. This thing is going to be retweeted like crazy today, I'm sure.
Poor Jake. Wonder why this is happening again?
Jake leaving NYC?
