Answer 2

Answer 1

Israel is a parliamentary democracy, with a unicameral legislature, called the Knesset, elected by national popular vote of all citizens. (Citizenship there doesn't depend on gender or religion.) The leader of the majority party in the Knesset assembles a government and serves as Prime Minister. Its structure and mechanics are most similar to the German and New Zealand Legislatures, or for more familiar systems, those employed by the United Kingdom and Canada. The Judiciary is completely independent of the Knesset.

Answer 2

Israel has a proportionally elected parliamentary democracy. Israel has two separate governmental branches: the legislative-executive branch and an independent judiciary. The Israeli Military (IDF) is subject to the will of the civilian government and does not reserve any special powers or rights.

Legislative-Executive
The Knesset or Israeli Parliament is composed of members who are elected by all Israeli citizens (regardless of race, gender, or religion) and are seated in accordance with the percentage (roughly) of the votes for those parties. After an election, different parties will try to strike agreements with one another to form a coalition that has 61 or more seats (>50% of the Knesset). From this coalition, typically the head of the largest party will become the Prime Minister or the Chief Executive. Other MKs (members of the Knesset) will get posts in the different ministries of the Israeli government and coordinate affairs. The coalition will pass and implement laws designed to improve Israeli society according to what the Knesset rules. Additionally, the Knesset can also pass Basic Laws which are far more permanent than normal laws (similar to a US Constitutional Amendment), but these require a larger percentage of the Knesset to agree to the changes.

Judiciary

Israel has an independent court system which hears cases brought both by Israeli citizens and those on appeal from the military courts in the West Bank from Palestinians. The Israeli courts are designed to be politically impartial and will apply laws approved by the Knesset. The Israeli Supreme Court will occasionally invalidate a law in whole or in part if it violates a Basic Law or if it clearly causes more harm than benefit.

Answer 3

Israel operates under a parliamentary system as a democratic country with universal suffrage. The President of Israel is the head of state, but his duties are largely ceremonial. A Parliament Member supported by a majority in parliament becomes the Prime Minister, usually the chairman of the largest party. The Prime Minister is the head of government and head of the Cabinet. Israel is governed by a 120-member parliament, known as the Knesset. Membership in the Knesset is based on proportional representation of political parties. Parliamentary elections are held every four years, but the Knesset can dissolve the government at any time by a no-confidence vote. The Basic Laws of Israel function as an unwritten constitution. In 2003, the Knesset began to draft an official constitution based on these laws, but little progress has been made in this endeavor.

Answer 3

The Israeli national government is a parliamentary democracy. Members of the single house of the Knesset (parliament) are chosen in general elections, where all male and female citizens of the country vote. The leader of the party that wins the most seats in the Knesset forms a government and becomes Prime Minister. On the national level, this is similar to the structure of the governments of Canada, Australia, the UK, etc.

Local government in Israel is also by elected representatives.
