Stiller, whose last visit to Israel was 27 years ago, told Ynet that he hopes to come here again with his family. Pinkett Smith said she was sorry that the visit would be so short, and Rock summed up his first three hours in the Land of milk and honey with the sentence, "Marty the Zebra loves Israel."
