Police Probing Incitement Against President Reuven Rivlin

Israel Police has launched an investigation into recent incitement, including a photo on social media showing President Reuven Rivlin in a kafia after Mr. Rivlin announced he would not pardon former IDF soldier Elor Azariya.

This photo of the president in a kafia is not a lone photo, but others appears as well, including one with a PLO flag with the statement �You are no my president�. Some comments used expletives as well, while others simply wrote �Your photo makes me want to throw up�.

By and large, there is major disappointment among right-wingers vis-�-vis President Rivlin, who was perceived as being right-wing before being elected to office, after having served his political career in Likud and being from the old-guard. However, since being elected president, he has turned his back on his Jabotinsky roots as he appears to be trying to be �Everyone�s president�.
