      First, @PresidentRuvi speaks. “Put down the swords of the elections and clean the dirt. Political considerations can no longer be the only compass...The nation, the sovereign had its say.”

      Rivlin said he has served in both the coalition and the opposition, and serving in the opposition is also an honor.

      Rivlin: In democratic elections, the nation is never wrong. The democratic decision is the will of the people and the people are the only sovereign in a democracy. It is the job of the opposition to criticize.

      Rivlin: People in Herut know and remember that being in the position requires leadership and patience...I am disturbed by voices that say ‘if I lost control, I have nothing to do here.’

      Basically, Rivlin is telling the opposition to stop feeling like a victim and start working to represent the people who voted for them.

      .@YuliEdelstein swore himself in as an MK and Rivlin passed him his gavel. Now someone is reading from Psalms.

          Now it’s Edelstein’s turn to speak. “Jerusalem, the capital in which the Knesset is found, is the same Jerusalem for which the Hasmoneans fought & for which our ancestors prayed...Our deep roots are found in Psalms by King David & Independence Scroll by David Ben-Gurion.”

          Edelstein calls on MKs to avoid “shameful and violent discourse” and to remember who sent them here and to whom they owe an accounting - the voter. Good luck.

          Edelstein suggests MKs talk as if their children are in the audience. This is assuming that they are good parents. OK, OK, I’ll behave.

          Now it’s time for the MKs to be sworn in. Edelstein reads: “I commit to be faithful to the State of Israel and to faithfully fulfill my job in the Knesset.” Knesset Secretary Yardena Maller Horowitz reads all the MKs’ names, one by one they say “I commit.”

          They commit and don’t swear, because swearing is frowned upon in Jewish law.

          Who knew Arye Deri and Rafi Peretz are such besties? Didn’t catch a pic but Deri got up and walked over to give Peretz a very enthusiastic handshake when he was sworn in.

          MK Jabareen was also absent, apparently to protest the national anthem, state symbol and flag, which he says are racist and not democratichttps://twitter.com/DrJabareen/status/1123200809657933824?s=09 …

          ההמנון, הדגל, והסמלים של המדינה צריכים לבטא את זיקתה השווה של המדינה לאזרחיה היהודים והערבים. כל הסמלים שיככבו היום במושב הפתיחה החגיגי של הכנסת רחוקים מאוד מלשקף עקרון דמוקרטי בסיסי זה.
