Remember the European adventure that some of the Duggar kids have been on over the past couple of weeks? It looks like the fun isn't over yet. Most of the family has been spotted in Israel, where it looks like they've escaped to so they can avoid all the bad press that's circulating around their family right now.
Dozens of family members have been seen in Israel.
According to Duggar critic Katie Joy of Without a Crystal Ball, one of her followers wrote in to say that she had spotted what seemed to be the entire Duggar family having breakfast in a restaurant in Israel.
The witness said they saw Jim Bob and many of his kids, along with Jed, Katey, and their son; Josiah, Lauren, and their two daughters</a>; and even Lauren's dad, Dwain Swanson.
It seems Michelle and Anna were both there too.
"They mentioned there were a few Duggars they couldn’t recognize, kids, which they believed were Anna & Josh’s kids. Anna & Michelle weren’t with the group at breakfast, but they can’t image their kids would be there without them," Katie Joy wrote.
She also noted that the couples who have very young children — such as Hannah and Jeremiah and John and Abbie — seemed to be missing from the trip.
Another photo was shared of the group in a hotel.
Here, they're in Tiberias, Israel, and if you scroll through the photos, you can see various members of the family in action. It really does seem like just about everybody went on this trip.
"They said the Duggars are all wearing lanyards and are 'with a tour.' Groups can travel with package prices and have tour guides to take them to Holy sites," Katie Joy reported.
It sounds like they're there for a very specific purpose.
"Either way, they are on a 'holy' trip to avoid any and all accountability and deflect from the negative press of Jinger’s book," Katie Joy pointed out.
Between Jinger's book release in January and the fact that Josh's appeal is in full swing, it's no surprise they'd want to make an escape to a place where fewer people would recognize them.
Their timing on this trip was pretty good.
But despite their best efforts, someone did recognize them — and now, we have to wonder if the Duggars will start sharing details of their trip publicly, even though they haven't shared a single post to the family's official Instagram feed since May 2022.
This is very interesting …
