Israel's 26th Knesset to be sworn in with prime minister, president in attendance
Israel's 26th Knesset will convene for its inaugural session and swearing-in ceremony on Tuesday, with President Isaac Herzog, Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in attendance.
Avi Harush, the father of the late Sgt. Reef Harush, who was killed in combat in the southern Gaza Strip in April 2024, will recite Psalm 122 from the Book of Psalms during the ceremony.
Excerpts from Israel's Declaration of Independence, read in the voice of Israel's first prime minister, David Ben-Gurion, will be shown on screens in the Knesset plenum. The session will conclude with a performance of Israel's national anthem, "Hatikvah," by the Pirchei Ashkelon children's choir.
The day's events will begin at 8:00 a.m., when the newly elected lawmakers arrive at the Knesset. Each member will receive a ceremonial flower to pin to their lapel before posing for commemorative photographs with family members in a designated area.
