Netanyahu revved up for Prince William’s ‘historic’ visit
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePrime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu touts the “historic” first ever official visit of a UK royal to Israel ahead of Prince William’s arrival later today.
“We will receive today the duke of Cambridge, Prince William, for the historic first visit in Israel of a representative of the British royal family,” he says at the start of the Likud faction meeting.
“I must say this is not exactly true because there is a representative, his great-grandmother Princess Alice, one of the Righteous of the Nations who saved Jews in Greece during the Second World War and requested to be buried in Jerusalem,” Netanyahu adds.
He jokes he would invite all of the Likud lawmakers to meet Prince William but “it is a little cramped at the Prime Minister’s Residence.”
