Netanyahu, Rivlin arrive at Knesset for swearing-in ceremony

The swearing-in ceremony of Israel’s 34th government is underway in the Knesset.

There is still no word on what appointments — if any — senior Likud lawmakers Gilad Erdan, Silvan Shalom and Benny Begin are to receive.

Earlier, it was reported that Begin would get the Ministry of Strategic Affairs but a new Likud announcement indicates that that office is going to Ze’ev Elkin, who was also appointed minister of immigration and absorption.

A minister of interior and a minister of public security have yet to be named.
