President Rivlin addressing the swearing-in ceremony of the Knesset

[ssba]

“Quite a few new Knesset members are sitting here today … Bear in mind that this is a glass house. The walls of this chamber are transparent, not only to the eyes of the public, which are turned to this place, but so that your own eyes will be turned to the nation. To the public that you are representing, to the people whose servant you now are.”

“Don’t forget for a moment who sent you here … Public trust is the most valuable asset in a democracy – and that trust has now been given to each one of you.” (Israeli President Reuven Rubi Rivlin speaking at the swearing-in ceremony of the 20th Knesset, 31/03/2015)
