The 26th Knesset opened today (Tuesday) with a festive ceremony in the Knesset plenum, attended by President Isaac Herzog, Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, along with senior state officials and members of the lawmakers’ families.
One of the central moments of the ceremony was the recitation of Kapital 122 from Tehillim by Avi Harush, father of the late Sgt. Reef Harush HY”D, who fell in battle in the southern Gaza Strip in April 2024.
Preparations for the ceremony began with the arrival of the members of Knesset at the building. Each lawmaker received a ceremonial flower to wear on their lapel and had the opportunity to take photographs with family members in an area specially prepared for the occasion.
In addition, an official portrait of each member of Knesset was taken. The photographs will be used in official Knesset publications and on attendance boards throughout their terms.
The lawmakers were also welcomed by “Mr. Weil” and “Mrs. Chagall,” two robots that recently joined the team of guides at the Knesset Visitors Center.
