President Reuven Rivlin ended his term in office Wednesday but it seems he had already sampled life as a regular citizen during his seven years in office.
To mark the handing over of the position to his successor Isaac Herzog, the Shin Bet security service published a photo of Rivlin heavily disguised and walking around in public.
The usually clean-shaven Rivlin who, at 81, has a receding white hairline, was shown with a thick dark wig and hiding behind a bushy beard.
In the background could be seen people in plain clothes, their faces blurred to prevent identification, who were apparently part of a Shin Bet undercover unit.
“For several hours, the president enjoyed complete anonymity alongside Shin Bet operatives who are well trained in covert work as an ‘unseen defense,’” the security service said.
The Shin Bet did not say when or where the photo was taken.

Puss puss. That is not chivalry but a coward in the hit his own eye will laugh. Will the crown of Torah find these men at all?
Rivlin strolled among the public to hear how low they think of this greedy money hungry honor seeker who filled his pocked with funding from the poor public for doing nothing. His (and Herzog’s) presidential position could’ve been combined with that of the PM’s like all the other countries in the world.
A translation of democracy from the original Greek is “people power”. In a true democracy, a politician is one of the people who walks amongst the people, elected by the will of the people, subject to recall by the people; and most certainly a politician is not to be treated as some kind of aristocracy and a politician is not to be living in his own buble, away from the people, always surrounded by a “safety perimeter” or more likely a “no-plebeians perimeter”. Admittedly, we live in a modern world with modern security threats, but the main purpose of a government is providing safety and security to the entire population, and there would be no greater incentive for the politicians to provide safety and security for all. If the politicians had to walk on the street just like everyone else without being surrounded by a small army, then they wouldn’t play liberal nice-to-islamonazis games and would take their safety-responsibility seriously. Defund shabak. Let all Israeli politicians enjoy the result of their own security policy that all of the rest of the population has to live with.

Ruby has a unique walk and no disguise covered that. Only in EY could this happen.
Nice scarf.
