A system explainer built from country metadata, linked institutions, office timelines, elections, and parties.
Israel operates under a parliamentary democracy system in the current dataset.
Israel is tracked in PoliticaHub as a parliamentary democracy, which gives the page a baseline answer to how executive and legislative authority are arranged.
The executive structure is recorded as: Ceremonial president with executive power concentrated in a prime minister who must command a Knesset coalition majority.
Current head of state: Isaac Herzog. Current head of government: Benjamin Netanyahu.
Knesset is the named legislature in the metadata, and it provides the clearest shorthand for where national lawmaking is centered.
1 institutions are linked to Israel, which helps map the legislature, executive bodies, or other constitutional actors around the state.
5 parties are connected to Israel, giving this system page a party-system layer rather than treating institutions in isolation.
The most recent linked election is Israel 2022 Legislative Election, and it acts as the best available marker of how the present balance of power was produced.
