MK Reuven Rivlin reiterated the insistence that US President Barack Obama address the nation from the podium of the Knesset in Jerusalem during his March visit to Israe.
"If President Obama wants to talk to the people of Israel, he can only do it from the Knesset podium. All the world leaders who have arrived in Israel, including the previous presidents of the United States and Egyptian President (Anwar) Sadat visited the Knesset on the understanding that the Knesset is the parliament of the people of Israel and the source of strength and power of the State of Israel as a democratic state," Rivlin said.
