Rivlin again extends invitation to British royals after Israel visit canceled
President Reuven Rivlin extends an invitation to the British royal family to visit Israel, after recent reports in UK media said an upcoming trip to the Holy Land had been canceled.
“We would be happy to welcome a member of the Royal Family here in Jerusalem, especially marking 100 years since the Balfour Declaration,” he says during a meeting with visiting Anglican Archbishop Justin Welby.
In March, in a meeting with UK Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson, Rivlin publicly extended an invitation to Prince Charles to visit Israel during the centennial year of the 1917 signing of the Declaration.
