26th Knesset holds orientation day for new members ahead of swearing-in

The 26th Knesset held its orientation day for new members on Monday, November 9, 2026, ahead of the swearing-in ceremony on Tuesday. The day included introductions to parliamentary procedures, security arrangements, and tours of the building. Right-wing organizations plan to protest during the swearing-in.

Ahead of the swearing-in of the 26th Knesset tomorrow (Tuesday), an orientation day is being held today for the new members of Knesset. The day is designed to introduce the elected legislators to the workings of the Knesset, its administrative structure, the tools for parliamentary oversight of the government, the legislative process, and the relationship with various Knesset departments. During the day, the future MKs will take a tour to familiarize themselves with the Knesset and will have the opportunity to undergo a series of photographs that will serve them for their official profile picture on the Knesset website and for issuing their Knesset member ID card. At the same time, a number of right-wing organizations intend to come and protest outside the Knesset during its swearing-in, including "Im Tirtzu", "March of the Mothers", the "Reservists – Generation of Victory" movement, and others. The protest bears the title "We will not replace a Knesset speaker with the votes of Hamas supporters." The Knesset Guard is preparing for the protests but no intention to block entry is known.
