Michael Bennett refusing to go reportedly doesn’t stop NFL players’ trip to Israel
Michael Bennett’s refusal to go reportedly did not stop an NFL players’ tour of Israel.
The Times of Israel reported Monday the 11 NFL players who were supposed to arrive in Jerusalem on Monday was down to seven -- but that the visit was still on.
“The delegation is on its way to Israel, expected to land tonight,” Revital Yakin-Karkovsky, executive director for communications and strategy in Israel’s Ministry for Strategic Affairs and Public Diplomacy, told the Times of Israel. “They’ll begin their tour of Israel (Tuesday).”
