Both men had joined world leaders who attended the funeral of Shimon Peres, former Israeli president.
“Obama shouted ‘Bill, let’s go!’ as he waited on Clinton to climb the steps of Air Force One following the funeral of late Israeli Leader Shimon Peres,” CNN said in a report.

Clapping his hands to get Mr Clinton’s attention, the US president motioned for him to join him and again yelled: “Come on, Bill, let’s go!”
With the former leader still busy on the tarmac, Mr Obama exited the plane and stood at the top of the airplane steps, where he shouted: “Bill, let’s go, I gotta get home!”
