Outgoing minister Regev, who was the first woman appointed to the position, said during the ceremony that "The history of the first woman in office has already been made - I'm happy to see that another woman is entering what was once considered a male sanctuary."
Regarding the ideological differences between the two, Regev said "From here you see things differently, and the gap between what you see and what ends up being written - they're polar opposites. I've learned to ignore background noises and concentrate on doing."
