The British ambassador to Israel has promised Israeli athletes "a proper British send off" before the London Olympics this summer.
Matthew Gould, speaking to Israel's Olympic hopefuls at the Dead Sea on Wednesday, said he was looking ahead to "the start of the greatest show on Earth".
Mr Gould, the first Jewish British envoy to Israel, promised the Israelis that their security was paramount.
"We are doing everything possible to keep you safe," he said. "Forty years on, the lessons from Munich have not been forgotten."
