Ultra-Orthodox Turn on Israeli President

The gap between Israeli President Reuven Rivlin and the ultra-Orthodox sector has been growing of late. Rivlin was elected president in June 2014 with the support of the ultra-Orthodox members of the Knesset. Some voted for him in the first round, while all of them supported him in the second, decisive round. This month, however, the ultra-Orthodox share what many within the right-wing religious nationalist sector in Israel are probably feeling: Rivlin has betrayed them.
