Israeli government

The Israeli government is a parliamentary democracy, meaning citizens elect representatives to make decisions on their behalf. It has three main branches: the executive (the Prime Minister and Cabinet), responsible for running the country; the legislative (the Knesset), which makes laws; and the judiciary, which interprets the laws. The Knesset, with 120 members, is elected every four years. Israel also has a President with mostly ceremonial duties. The government manages policies on security, economy, and social issues, while balancing diverse political parties, religious groups, and national interests within its complex societal fabric.
