Rivlin: Knesset neglected, given to mediocrity
Knesset Speaker Reuven Rivlin said the Knesset's public standing has deteriorated. "The Knesset is neglected and given to mediocrity," he said. "Social organizations are becoming the elite of social leadership."
"For most of the Israeli public, politics and the Knesset are no longer seen as a relevant stage for change… Few of us still believe in the power of politics, and even few are ready to get their hands dirty." (Ronen Medzini)
