Rivlin says he’s deeply ashamed to be voting a third time: ‘We don’t deserve this’

Voting in Jerusalem’s Beit Hakerem neighborhood, President Reuven Rivlin is far from celebratory, saying he is ashamed to be voting for a third time in less than a year.

“This is normally a festive day, but the truth is that I don’t feel celebratory,” he states. “I only feel a sense of deep shame when I face you, my fellow citizens.

“We simply don’t deserve this. We don’t deserve another horrible election campaign that descends into filth, like the one that ends today.”
