Our last tour this day was an excursion to the Israeli Military Cemetery on Mount Herzl. We visited the graves of Itzhak and Leah Rabin, Golda Meir, and the other Prime Ministers, presidents, and speakers of the Knesset who are buried there. (Menachem Begin and David ben Gurion requested to be buried elsewhere, and the State complied with their wishes. We also saw the burial site of Theodor Herzl, the one who is credited with pushing for the establishment of a Jewish state in Israel.
