Rivlin opens President’s Residence to public
President Reuven Rivlin inaugurates a new visitors center at his Jerusalem residence which will be open to the entire Israeli public.
“The President’s Residence is the home of all Israelis. Not of the majority, but of the whole people. The gates of the President’s Residence were not built to keep Israeli society out, but rather to give them a dignified entry to their own home,” he says.
“This house, when it was built in the past and now in the present, embodies a commitment that Israeli society should visit, host and be hosted at the President’s Residence in a pleasant, enriching, dignified and respectful way,” he adds.
