The Israeli Ceremonial Protocol does not define an order of precedence. It does define, however, the group of officials that are to attend ceremonial events (Hebrew: Segel Aleph, סגל א'). This group consists of:

  1. The President of Israel (נשיא מדינת ישראל)
  2. The Prime Minister of Israel (ראש ממשלת ישראל)
  3. The Speaker of the Knesset (יו"ר הכנסת)
  4. The Leader of the Opposition (יו"ר האופוזיציה)
  5. Justices of the Supreme Court of Israel (שופטי בית המשפט העליון)
  6. The Chief Rabbis (הרבנים הראשיים לישראל)
  7. The Chief of Staff of the Israeli Defense Forces (הרמטכ"ל)
  8. The Police Commissioner (מפכ"ל המשטרה)
  9. The Dean of the Diplomatic Corps (ראש הסגל הדיפלומטי)
  10. The Attorney General of Israel (היועץ המשפטי לממשלה)
  11. The Governor of the Bank of Israel (נגיד בנק ישראל)
  12. Representatives of the minority communities in Israel – Christians, Muslims, Druze, and Circassians

Famous quotes containing the words israeli, order and/or precedence:

    Both gossip and joking are intrinsically valuable activities. Both are essentially social activities that strengthen interpersonal bonds—we do not tell jokes and gossip to ourselves. As popular activities that evade social restrictions, they often refer to topics that are inaccessible to serious public discussion. Gossip and joking often appear together: when we gossip we usually tell jokes and when we are joking we often gossip as well.
    Aaron Ben-Ze’Ev, Israeli philosopher. “The Vindication of Gossip,” Good Gossip, University Press of Kansas (1994)

    The sick man is taken away by the institution that takes charge not of the individual, but of his illness, an isolated object transformed or eliminated by technicians devoted to the defense of health the way others are attached to the defense of law and order or tidiness.
    Michel de Certeau (1925–1986)

    Let not England forget her precedence of teaching nations how to live.
    John Milton (1608–1674)
