The Speaker of the outgoing Knesset, MK Ruby Rivlin, is expected to continue in that position in the 19th Knesset, according to the pro-Netanyahu freebie Yisrael Hayom.

The Speaker has Likud-Yisrael Beytenu support and probably that of Yesh Atid, Labor, Bayit Yehudi and other parties.

Rivlin, who intends to run for President of Israel when Shimon Peres ends his term in 2014, may, in that case, leave the post of Speaker at the end of 2013.
