Chris Rock has claimed that Israel is better than Hollywood after their latest film premiered in the country.

Speaking about the premiere of Magagascar: Escape 2 Africa in the coastal Israeli city of Netanya, Chris said: "It's much better than Hollywood. They don't like us in Hollywood, but here they love us."

Ben added: "This is better than any premiere we have had so far."

The animated film features animal characters escaping from Madagascar to the African mainland in a zany adventure.

Ben also visited the Western Wall in the Old City of Jerusalem, the holiest site where Jews can pray, and the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial.
