Prime Minister Netanyahu and his wife Sara visited the Montfort castle in the Upper Galilee Thursday. Montfort is an archaeological site containing the ruins of a Crusader castle and fortress built by the Teutonic Order during the 12th century, when the Crusaders ruled the Holy Land until their defeat at the hands of Saladin in 1187 at the Battle of Hattin.
The prime minister and his wife received explanations at the site and met with visitors who had hiked to the site with their families.
Netanyahu said during the course of the tour that "we are really enjoying touring the Galilee and our beautiful country. We are meeting families with children, with babies, and wishing them and all the people of Israel a happy Passover. Most important - look after yourselves and come home safely."
