Prince William has envisaged a strong future for Israel while making the first official royal visit to the country and has pledged to commemorate the Holocaust that contributed to its foundation.
Speaking at a reception in his honour at the residence of the British Ambassador to Israel, William said his visit earlier to Israel’s Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial centre in Jerusalem had been a “profoundly moving experience”.
He told dignitaries including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that as older generations were fading away, it was up to him and other younger people to carry on the commemoration of the Holocaust.
