Ahead of the Knesset swearing-in ceremony, incoming lawmakers are attending an orientation day as right-wing groups prepare protests outside the parliament building against changing the Knesset Speaker.
Ahead of the Knesset swearing-in ceremony on Tuesday, the Israeli parliament is holding an orientation day for newly elected lawmakers. The program is designed to introduce incoming legislators to parliamentary procedures, administrative structures, oversight mechanisms of the government, and coordination with various Knesset departments. As part of the schedule, future members of parliament are taking a comprehensive tour of the building and participating in official photography sessions for their parliamentary profiles and credentials.
Meanwhile, a coalition of right-wing organizations, including Im Tirtzu, the Mothers' March, and the Reservists Victory Generation movement, plans to stage a demonstration outside the Knesset during the swearing-in ceremony. The protesters are rallying under the slogan "Do not replace the Knesset Speaker with the votes of Hamas supporters." Knesset Guard forces are maintaining heightened alertness for the protests, though no attempts to block the entry of lawmakers or visitors are anticipated.
