President Rivlin to host Q&A on Twitter #AskRivlin
For the first time, President Reuven Rivlin will hold a questions and answers session on Twitter via his Hebrew (@rubirivlin), and English (@PresidentRuvi)Twitter accounts, using both text and video.
The session will begin at 10am Israeli time on Sunday 25 September 2016, and will last around 45 minutes – while questions can be submitted in advance using the hashtag #AskRivlin.
President Rivlin noted that, “While I have often referred to myself as an analogue president, in a digital age, I am delighted for the opportunity to engage with people around the world and answer their questions.”
President Rivlin was elected as Israel’s tenth president in 2014, having served as a member of Knesset first elected in 1988, Communications Minister (2001-03), and as Speaker of the Knesset (2003-06 and 2009-13). Since taking office as President, he has focused much of his agenda on building bridges and a shared ‘hope for Israel’ between all the different communities in Israel; especially in the fields of academia and employment, education, civil society, and through regional cooperation. President Rivlin set out his vision in his address to the Herzliya Conference in 2015 and again in 2016.
