Israel's Basic Law

Israel’s Basic Laws are foundational legal principles that function like a constitution, guiding the country’s governance. They establish the structure of government, define the powers of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches, and ensure fundamental rights for citizens. While Israel doesn't have a formal written constitution, these laws serve as constitutional safeguards, providing legal stability and democratic principles. Over time, they form the core legal framework that shapes Israeli law and policy, balancing the responsibilities of various government branches and protecting individual rights within the context of the state’s democratic and Jewish character.
