Mrs. Lillian, President Carter’s mother, visited Kibbutz Ma’abaroth on the old Tel Aviv-Jaffa road and was visibly impressed as she inspected the nursery. Her visit to Israel this week is the second time she has been here. She was here previously in 1978 to attend Golda Meir’s funeral.
Mrs. Carter, who arrived here Friday afternoon, was received at Ben Gurion Airport by Chief of Protocol Yoacov Aviad. She expressed thanks to Premier Menachem Begin for inviting her to Israel and said she would tour the entire country. Yesterday she visited Nazareth and the Church of Annunciation as well as the holy places in Capernaum. While here she will be received by Begin, President Yitzhak Navon and Mayor Teddy Kollek of Jerusalem.
