President Reuven Rivlin receives the credentials of new ambassadors to Israel for the first time since the coronavirus pandemic.

A statement from Rivlin’s office says the size of the honor guard was reduced and that the ceremony was held entirely in the President’s Residence in accordance with restrictions against the coronavirus.

During the ceremony, the new ambassadors from Colombia, Greece, Denmark, Romania and Argentina presented Rivlin with their credentials.
