In a touching moment, US President Joe Biden knelt before Rivka Ravitz - Chief of Staff for Israel’s President Reuven Rivlin - after hearing she has 12 children.

“I’ve been privileged to meet 3 US presidents in my lifetime. It's hard to describe how powerful it is when the President of the strongest nation kneels in front of you in gratitude.”

 

Rivka explained President Biden was kneeling to show his respect to “all the mothers out there... for the sacrifices they’ve made for future generations.”
