Abstract
Abstract This chapter is dedicated to the Israeli parliament, the Knesset. This single-chamber house serves both as the constituent power that enacts and amend basic laws, and the legislative branch. The Israeli parliamentary system follows the British model, in which the government must have the confidence of the House of Parliament. The Knesset supervises the executive and the state budget. The chapter discusses the Israeli election method, which is unique in comparative law terms. Israel is a single, undivided constituency that elects 120 representatives as Knesset members. In the 1990s, the State of Israel experimented with a special arrangement that combined the presidential and parliamentary methods: the Prime Minister was elected personally and did not require the confidence of the Knesset. That method failed, and less than a decade later, Israel returned to the parliamentary method. The chapter also examines the status of Knesset members, their immunity, and focuses on judicial review of parliamentary acts and legislative procedures
