Minister says Prince William’s visit boosts England’s chances in World Cup
Tourism Minister Yariv Levin (Likud) says he told Prince William upon arriving at Ben Gurion International Airport that his visit to Israel during the World Cup will boost the English team’s chances of winning the soccer tournament.
“I welcomed him to Israel and told him there is no better time to be in the Holy Land than during the World Cup because this increases the chance of winning the trophy,” says Levin, the most senior government figure to greet the British royal at the airport.
A number of Israeli ministers have implied Argentina’s World Cup woes are due to the team’s cancellation of its warm up match in Jerusalem against Israel’s national team.
