Rivlin arrives at Knesset as swearing-in ceremony kicks off
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe pomp and circumstance begins at the Knesset as President Reuven Rivlin makes his entrance to the Knesset grounds, accompanied by an honor guard on horseback and the IDF military band.
He is greeted by Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein, who was approved minutes earlier by his Likud party to remain in the role for third term, and students from grades one to three of the Jerusalem elementary school Paula Ben Gurion.
The president will place a wreath on the Knesset’s monument for fallen soldiers before meeting privately with Edelstein. The two will then lead the 120 MKs to the Knesset plenum for their first official session.
