President Reuven Rivlin said, Thursday, 'I will faithfully carry out the letter and the spirit of the law as I did in the previous elections and as my predecessors, the previous Presidents of the State of Israel, did,” when it comes to giving the job of forming the next government.
Speaking at a conference organized by the Israel Democracy Institute, Rivlin explained, "Israeli presidents live among the people and I, like my predecessors, regard the elections and the voice of the people with reverence. For me, the voice of the people is the voice of the sovereign citizens of Israel. I will not be tempted by blandishments. Attacks of one kind or another will not intimidate me."
