All three of the stars present had their own vision as to why Israel was so special.
Rafaeli said: “It’s the most incredible country in the world. It combines everything you can possibly imagine – ancient and modern, desert and sea, nightlife… It has everything.” Koshistani agreed: “Israel has a lot to offer. It is a beautiful country representing many cultures. Why shouldn’t it be visited?”
And Herzog enthused: “Israel is a very different place to the one that is portrayed by the media. It has the most fascinating sights on earth, and is a cradle of three monotheistic religions. We can’t wait to show that Israeli tourism potential is back on track."
