Israel's 26th Knesset to be sworn in with prime minister, president in attendance
Meanwhile, several right-wing organizations are planning to demonstrate outside the Knesset during the swearing-in ceremony.
The 26th Knesset of Israel will convene on Tuesday for its swearing-in ceremony, with President Isaac Herzog, Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in attendance. The ceremony will include recitations of Psalm 122 and excerpts from Israel's Declaration of Independence, as well as performances of Israel's national anthem, Hatikvah, by the Pirchei Ashkelon children's choir.
Each new lawmaker will receive a ceremonial flower and have their official portrait taken for use throughout their term. The event will conclude with a blessing recited by Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana.
