Rivlin: Public views Knesset as hornets' nest
None
Knesset Speaker Reuven Rivlin says the Knesset's image has deteriorated in the eyes of the public, much due to some lawmakers' activities.
"The public views the Knesset as a hornets nest, which any person with a military or civilian record wouldn't want to enter," Rivlin said during a conference in Akko. "This Knesset is mediocre and suffers from a brain drain and lack of human capital. Clearly, some of the Knesset members are greatly responsible for this image." (Hagai Einav)
