Politically far apart, physically close: No social distancing at swearing-in

Unlike the swearing-in of the previous Knesset last year, which was held under strict social distancing rules, all 120 lawmakers will be in the plenum today for the ceremony.

The relaxed rules come after Israel has vaccinated the majority of its population.

Lawmakers are also allowed to invite one vaccinated family member.
