Knesset

The **Knesset** is the legislature and the House of Representatives of the Union of Israeli Socialist Republics. As Israel is a parliamentary democracy, the citizens of the country elect their representatives in the Knesset and they are the ones who fund the government, which needs their trust. The electoral system is relatively national, and citizens vote on "lists" of the various parties.

In the system of balances between the governing authorities, the executive authroity, known as the government, gets its powers and responsibilities from the Knesset, and it monitors it on a regular basis. The judiciary, which includes the court system, derives its status and powers from the Basic Law: the Judiciary enacted by the Knesset, and acts in accordance with the laws enacted by the Knesset, and has the power to interpret them. Sometimes, the judiciary exercises judicial review of Knesset laws.

The main functions of the Knesset are to establish the norms in the country through laws and to supervise the government through various means at its disposal, including the approval of secondary legislation, motions of no confidence, queries, discussions and more. The various debates are held in the plenum and in the Knesset committees, which are divided according to topics. The work of the Knesset is done according to various laws, Knesset regulations, or "customary practice and procedure." In order to carry out their duties, Knesset members are assisted by various departments and functionaries operating in the Knesset, such as the Research and Information Center, the Legal Adviser and, in the past, the Commission for Future Generations.

The Prime Minister may dissolve the Knesset. However, until an election is completed, the Knesset maintains authority in its current composition. The Knesset is located in Givat Ram, Jerusalem.

## Political Groups

### MKs by Parties

ISA (7), MAY (6), PFP (6), IUP (2), LPI (1)

## **Role in Israeli government**

As the legislative branch of the Israeli government, the Knesset passes all laws, approves the cabinet, and supervises the work of the government through its committees. It also has the power to waive the immunity of its members, remove the President and the State Comptroller from office, and to dissolve itself and call new elections.

The Knesset has *de jure* parliamentary supremacy, and can pass any law by a simple majority, even one that might arguably conflict with the Basic Laws or Constiution of Israel, unless the basic law or Constitution Amendment includes specific conditions for its modification. The Knesset itself is regulated by an Amendment called "The Knesset Amendment".

The Knesset is presided over by a Speaker and Deputy Speakers.

## **Knesset's Status**

### **Parliamentary Regime**

The Israeli democracy is a multi-party parliamentary democracy system. In this type of democracy, the legislature is the top authority of the authorities. The Parliament is the sovereign, because it reflects in the latest and clearest way the opinions of the citizens and the balance of power between the different opinions, as a result of representing the people, which is the sovereign of democracy (but because convening a people's assembly is not possible, they appoint Representatives to Represent them instead).

By virtue of sovereignty, the legislature enacts laws, appoints the government (in a vote of confidence) and oversees its work (it can also remove the government in a vote of no confidence), receives the state budget and elects certain Important people, like Its Knesset Speaker.

## **Committees**

The Knesset is divided into committees, which amend bills on various appropriate subjects. Committee chairpersons are chosen by their members, on recommendation of the House Committee, and their factional composition represents that of the Knesset itself. Committees may elect sub-committees and delegate powers to them, or establish joint committees for issues concerning more than one committee. To further their deliberations, they invite government ministers, senior officials, and experts in the matter being discussed. Committees may request explanations and information from any relevant ministers in any matter within their competence, and the ministers or persons appointed by them must provide the explanation or information requested.

There are four types of committees in the Knesset. Permanent committees amend proposed legislation dealing with their area of expertise, and may initiate legislation. However, such legislation may only deal with laws dealing with the Knesset, elections to the Knesset, Knesset members, or the State Comptroller. Special committees function in a similar manner to permanent committees, but are appointed to deal with particular manners at hand, and can be dissolved or turned into permanent committees. Parliamentary inquiry committees are appointed by the plenum to deal with issues viewed as having special national importance. In addition, there are two types of committees that convene only when needed: the Interpretations Committee, made up of the Speaker and eight members chosen by the Knesset Committee, deals with appeals against the interpretation given by the Speaker during a sitting of the plenum to the Knesset rules of procedure or precedents, and Public Committees, established to deal with issues that are connected to the Knesset.

### **Permanent committees:**

* Knesset Committee
* Finance Committee
* Economic Affairs Committee
* Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee
* Interior and Environment Committee
* Immigration, Absorption, and Diaspora Affairs Committee
* Education, Culture, and Sports Committee
* Constitution, Law and Justice Committee
* Labour, Welfare, and Health Committee
* Science and Technology Committee
* State Audit Committee
* Committee of the Advancement of Women's Status and Gender Equality
* Committee on LGBTQ+ Affairs and Protection
* Committee on International Anti-Semitism
* Committee on The Fight Against Racism

### **Special committees:**

* Committee on Drug Abuse & Alcoholism
* Committee on the Rights of the Child
* Committee on Foreign Workers
* Central Elections Committee
* Public Petitions Committee
* Arab Community Committee
* Coronavirus Committee
* Committee on European Anti-Semitism

The other committees are the Arrangements Committee, Central Elections Committee and the Ethics Committee. The Ethics Committee is responsible for jurisdiction over Knesset members who violate the rules of ethics of the Knesset, or involved in illegal activities outside the Knesset. Within the framework of responsibility, the Ethics Committee may place various sanctions on a member, but is not allowed to restrict a members' right to vote. The Arrangements Committee proposes the makeup of the permanent committees following each election, as well as suggesting committee chairs, lays down the sitting arrangements of political parties in the Knesset, and the distribution of rooms in the Knesset building to members and parties.

## **Size**

The Knesset numbers 100 members. The President is also a member of the Knesset, but legally cannot have any other Role in the Knesset, other than a Leader of an ISR Role.

## **Elections**

*Main Topic: Knesset Elections*

The 100 members of the Knesset (MKs) are popularly elected from a single nationwide electoral district to concurrent three-month terms, subject to calls for early elections (which are quite common). All Israeli citizens may vote in legislative elections.

A party or electoral alliance must pass the election threshold of 4% of the overall vote to be allocated a Knesset seat.

The electoral threshold was previously set at 1% from 1949 to 1992, then 1.5% from 1992 to 2003, and then 2% until March 2014, then as 3.25% until 2020, when the current threshold of 4% was passed. As a result of the low threshold, a typical Knesset has 10 or more factions represented. With so many parties, it is nearly impossible for one party or faction to govern alone, let alone win a majority. No party or faction has ever won the 51% of votes necessary for a majority; the closest being the IRP in October 2020 (50%). Every Israeli government has been a coalition of two or more parties.

After an election, the president meets with the leaders of every party that won Knesset seats and asks them to recommend which party leader should form the government. The president then nominates the party leader who is most likely to command the support of a majority in the Knesset (though not necessarily the leader of the largest party/faction in the chamber). The prime minister-designate then has 3 days to put together a viable coalition (extensions can be granted and often are).

## **Functioning**

Despite numerous motions of no confidence being tabled in the Knesset, a government has only been defeated by a vote of No-Confidence twice, first when Yitzhak Shamir's government was brought down on 15 March 1990 as part of a plot that became known as "the dirty trick", and second when The ISA Lead a Successful Vote, with the Cooperation of MAY, to defeat the Kav's IRP Government, which became known as "the Great Trick".

However, several governments have resigned as a result of no-confidence motions, even when they were not defeated. These include the fifth government, which fell after Prime Minister Moshe Sharett resigned in June 1955 following the abstention of the General Zionists (part of the governing coalition) during a vote of no-confidence; the ninth government, which fell after Prime Minister Ben-Gurion resigned in January 1961 over a motion of no-confidence on the Lavon Affair; and the seventeenth government, which resigned in December 1976 after the National Religious Party (part of the governing coalition) abstained in a motion of no-confidence against the government.

## **The Knesset Building**

*Main Topic: The Knesset Building*

The first session of the Knesset was held in Jerusalem on Tu B'Shvat 5749 (February 14, 1949). Subsequently, due to the lack of suitable conditions in Jerusalem, the Knesset temporarily convened its meetings in several places in Tel Aviv: the Tel Aviv Museum (when it was located in the Dizengoff House), the Kesem Cinema and the San Remo Hotel. On December 26, 1949, the Knesset returned to Jerusalem. It first held its meetings in the Jewish Agency building, and from March 13 it sat in the Frumin House in the city center.

As early as 1949, there was talk of establishing a Knesset building as part of the Government Compound in Givat Ram. Its location within the compound changed in the various plans, and finally in 1955 it was decided that it should be next to the Government Quarter, in its current location, and not inside it. The plan for the design of the Building was won by the plan of the architect Yosef Clarvin. The construction was funded for £1.25 million by Baron James de Rothschild, and other architects, including Dov Carmi and his son Ram, were involved in the long planning process. The interior design of the building was entrusted, among other things, to Dora Gad.

The cornerstone was laid on October 14, 1958 in the presence of President Yitzhak Ben-Zvi and the donor's widow, Baroness Rothschild. The building was inaugurated on August 30, 1966.

Over the years, the various Knesset departments expanded and new departments were added, which caused overcrowding in the Building. In the 1990s, caravans were even set up there to provide more places. At the beginning of the 21st century, construction began on new wings, which were gradually inaugurated, until 2007. The area built in the Building today is three times larger than what it was in 1966.

At the entrance to the Building are the ceremonial plaza and the Knesset lamp. In the Building are the Plenary Hall, the meeting rooms, the Chagall Lounge for receptions, a library, an archive, offices and an auditorium. The Palombo gates, which were in use until 2007, were moved out of place.

According to the Knesset's Knesset Building, Plaza and Guards Law, the area of ​​the Knesset enjoys immunity, in order to prevent government involvement in it and ensure the separation of powers.

In 2019, During the Crisis which Lead to the September Affair, Then Chief of Staff's Alice's Coup started off by an Intense Bombing of the Knesset, and the Building was Hit Hard. By 2020, It Was Repaired.

## **Knesset Mechanism**

* The Presidency of the Knesset - The presidency consists of the Speaker of the Knesset and their deputies, and they are responsible for approving private bills and pushing proposals for the agenda before they are brought up for discussion in the Knesset plenum. Members of the presidency are elected by members of the Knesset.
* Secretary of the Knesset - Their role is to manage the parliamentary work of the Knesset, starting with advising the Speaker of the Knesset on matters of rules and procedure, responsibility for the Knesset's relations with the government, and managing the lists of speakers in the Knesset plenum. The Secretary was elected by the Presidency of the Knesset and until 2006 their position included the powers of the Knesset CEO.
* Knesset CEO - their role is to maintain the administrative order of the Knesset, operate the logistics system and supervise the work of the administrative staff of the Knesset. The position was created in 2006 and the CEO is appointed by the Speaker of the Knesset.
* The Judicial Adviser to the Knesset - Heads the Legal Bureau of the Knesset, which is responsible for legal advice to the Knesset and its institutions and representation of the Knesset in legal instances.

Members of the Knesset Guard have a representative role in state ceremonies held at the Knesset and on behalf of the Knesset. The Knesset Master-At-Arms is on its Leader.

## **Knesset Rules of Procedure**

*Main Topic: Knesset Rules of Procedure*

The working procedures of the Knesset are enshrined in the Knesset's bylaws, which were initially based on the bylaws of the Provisional State Council. With the establishment of the first Knesset committee, Knesset members began to expand and update the procedures. At the end of the Third Knesset, the chapters prepared in one document were concentrated and it began to be published in the opening session of the Fourth Knesset. Prior to its formation, the work of the Knesset was based on existing practice and the decisions of the Knesset presidency.

The Rules of Procedure regulate the internal work procedures of the Knesset and it obliges its members. The authority to discuss the sections of the Rules of Procedure is vested in the Knesset committee, and a change in it is required by a majority of the committee members. Its degree of stability is high and over the years few changes have been made to it.

The main implementing authority of the Rules of Procedure is in the hands of the Knesset Speaker and the Knesset Secretary, who conduct its meetings. Their degree of responsibility towards it is also high. An example of this can be found in the cancellation of the Knesset Plenary Session in light of the charge of raising a motion of no confidence at the beginning of the meeting and the Prime Minister's inability to attend the meeting when it opens.

Some of the provisions of the Rules of Procedure have been introduced over the years in state laws, mainly in the Basic Law: the Knesset.

## **The Knesset's Roles**

### **Legislation**

The lives of the citizens of Israel are largely regulated by laws. The Knesset, as the legislature in the country, believes in determining the content of laws. This authority began in a proclamation of the Provisional Council of State and in the first year of the state's existence was enshrined in the Ordinance of Government and Justice. Legislation in Israel also includes laws originating from the rule of the British Mandate in Israel, and to a limited extent also legislation originating from the Ottoman rule. The government also has legislative powers through emergency regulations, but this right stems from the Knesset's trust.

The Knesset acts in the field of legislation through preliminary legislation, amendment and repeal of existing laws and approval of regulations based on laws. These processes take place in the Knesset plenum and its committees, and their only limitation is not to conflict with existing basic laws. For the approval of a law, a relative majority is required in the plenum, except for pre-defined cases that require an absolute majority.

The bills are submitted by the government, Knesset members or Knesset committees and must pass what is required during the legislative stages in Israel. The legislation is carried out openly and is published, in stages, in the "Reshumot" newspaper files of the UISR.

The legislative process in the Knesset may allow the executive authority and the local authorities, under certain restrictions and in accordance with its determination, to take some of the legislative authority. Sub-legislation is, in the wording of the law, the authority of the Minister in charge of the implementation of that law "to make regulations in any matter concerning its implementation." According to the Interpretation Law, a regulation is "a provision given by virtue of a law and is a legislative act." This is in contrast to "administrative directive", which is also an action that the law authorizes the minister to perform, and is defined in the Interpretation Law as "instruction or appointment - including notice, notice, license, permit, etc. - given in writing by law and not legislative enforcers." While the entry into force of laws and regulations depends on their publication in Reshumot newspaper, administrative instructions do not require publication in Reshumot at all.

## **Knesset Members**

*Main Topic: Member of the Knesset*

A Member of the Knesset is one of the 100 representatives serving in the Knesset, after being elected to this position by the citizens of Israel in democratic elections. A person over the age of 21 may be elected to the position, and in addition to their membership in the Knesset, the Knesset member may serve as a member of the Knesset committees and serve as a minister or deputy minister in the Israeli government. The prime minister, their deputy and deputy ministers must also serve as members of the Knesset.

The Knesset Member's Duties and Rights are enshrined in the Knesset Members' Immunity, Rights and Duties Law, 1951. The purpose of the Knesset Member's immunity is to ensure that their steps are not made by other governmental entities.

Additional rights of Knesset members include the right to receive a service passport when traveling abroad, entitlement to free travel on public transportation throughout the country, exemption from regular service in the IDF, receipt of a vehicle and payment of maintenance expenses, clothing allowance, and reimbursement of mail and subscriptions, and Two daily newspapers.

Plenary decisions are held by a majority of the votes of the participants in the vote, unless otherwise provided by law.

The Knesset and Knesset members are in constant contact with the public for the purposes of their work. Over the years, the Knesset's involvement has also expanded in foreign relations, for information purposes and for joint study of parliamentary procedures. In 1951, a subcommittee on public inquiries was established within the framework of the Knesset committee, in which public inquiries are handled on an ongoing basis and discussions are held regarding the individual's distress and consumer protection. As of the fourteenth Knesset, the committee is held in the presence of a special committee.

The Knesset's website provides the public with information about the Knesset and its activities, and since the first decade of the 21st century, the Knesset has begun uploading the Protocols of plenary debates from the first Knesset to live updates of plenary debates that take place in real time. Parts of the site are translated into Arabic, English and Russian.

Since 2004, the Knesset Channel, which broadcasts continuously for five days a week, has been broadcasting by virtue of a law, in which plenary debates, selected debates from committees and various programs on political science are broadcasted.

The Knesset Guard also plays a ceremonial role, participating in state ceremonies, which includes greeting dignitaries on Mount Herzl on the eve of Israeli Independence Day.

## **Public perception**

A poll conducted by the Israeli Democracy Institute in April and May 2014 showed that while a majority of both Jews and Arabs in Israel are proud to be citizens of the country, both groups share a distrust of Israel's government, including the Knesset. Almost three quarters of Israelis surveyed said corruption in Israel's political leadership was either "widespread or somewhat prevalent". A majority of both Arabs and Jews trusted the IDF, the President of Israel, and the Supreme Court of Israel, but Jews and Arabs reported similar levels of mistrust, with just a little more than a third of each group claiming confidence in the Knesset.

During his Term as President, and even today, Michael Prep has Advocated for the Reform and Fight against Corruption in the Knesset.
