Chilean Miners to Visit Israel for Christmas
Israel says the 33 Chilean miners who captured the world's attention surviving 69 days in a collapsed mine have accepted an Israeli invitation to visit the Holy Land for Christmas.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor said that Israel offered the miners an all-expenses-paid, weeklong tour of Christian holy sites and other attractions over the holidays.
Palmor says the Chilean ambassador has confirmed the miners would come.
