Arrange a visit to Israel by the Queen in 2017, the Balfour centenary year

What the petition asks
The Queen has never visited Israel during her 65 year reign. Israel is a close ally of the UK and there are numerous family ties. The Royal Family has been invited to visit Israel during 2017, the centenary year of the Balfour Declaration. An official state visit is way overdue!

Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
This would be a decision for Her Majesty the Queen, and not the UK Government or Parliament, to take.
