| | | Did You Know? "The Knesset, Israel's unicameral national legislature, was established in 1949 and serves as the supreme authority in the Israeli government, responsible for enacting laws, electing the President and Prime Minister, and overseeing the government. It is composed of 120 members who are elected through a system of proportional representation, which ensures a wide range of political parties are represented. The Knesset's name and its number of members are derived from the ancient Great Assembly (Anshei Knesset HaGedolah) that convened during the Second Temple period, reflecting the institution's deep historical and cultural roots in Jewish tradition." |
