He was definitely planning to attend & then canceled.

Who invited him?

I don't see why both things can't be true.

Chabad in Israel wants to be on good terms with the new government, and does what they can (or what their American counterparts can) to get him a visa.

To be on good terms with him, it would have been more than enough to invite him and leave the visa up to him.

From what I’ve heard it was personal political reasons.

I don't know Israeli politics very well, but it's possible that it would be politically expedient to help facilitate a visa if asked. The point is that the 2 statements are not contradictory.
Failing at maintaining Lurker status.

Yes.  The banquet is early this year. Happening now!
The Israeli shluchim didn't come in. So they made it at a time they can participate remotely.
My favorite cause: cssy.org

Strongly recommend watching his (and his father/grandfather's) speech/video at the kinus.

Replay at http://chabad.org/kinus

Video starts at 1:48:10, and the kid speaks live at 1:56:00 (on the Chabad.org link). Not sure if YouTube is the same.

ETA: Another thing not to miss is a different kid and father singing together at 1:26:30.

Are there seriously people who didn't put on tefilin at the kinnus? A friend who was there told me he was asked at least a dozen times!

the are a fair number of 'lay leaders' /supporters there as guests. Some arrive directly there and meet their host shluchim on site. Also various press contacts and such.
I saw a few people putting on Tefillin there

It's so natural to ask, irrelevant of the time & place!
