Knesset

The Knesset is the legislative branch of the Israeli government. It is the unicameral national legislature of Israel, and is located in Jerusalem. The Knesset is composed of 120 members, all of whom are directly elected by the people of Israel. The Knesset is responsible for making laws, approving the government’s budget, and overseeing the work of the government.

The Knesset was established in 1949, shortly after the establishment of the State of Israel. It is based on the British Parliament, and is the only unicameral legislature in the Middle East. The Knesset is the supreme legislative authority in Israel, and its decisions are binding on all other branches of government.

The Knesset is headed by a Speaker, who is elected by the members of the Knesset. The Speaker is responsible for presiding over the Knesset’s sessions, and for representing the Knesset in international forums. The Speaker is also responsible for appointing committees, and for appointing the Knesset’s representatives to the various government ministries.

The Knesset is divided into several committees, each of which is responsible for a specific area of policy. These committees are responsible for drafting legislation, and for debating and voting on proposed laws. The Knesset also has the power to impeach the President, the Prime Minister, and other government officials.

The Knesset is an important part of the Israeli political system, and plays a key role in the country’s democracy. It is the only legislative body in Israel, and its decisions have a direct impact on the lives of all Israelis.
