The Israeli government operates as a parliamentary democracy, where citizens elect representatives to the Knesset, the national legislature. The government is led by a Prime Minister, who is chosen from the majority party or coalition in the Knesset. The system is characterized by multiple political parties, allowing for a diverse representation of views and interests. Israel's government is divided into three branches: the executive, legislative, and judicial. The executive branch is responsible for implementing laws and is headed by the Prime Minister and their cabinet. The judicial branch interprets laws and ensures justice, with the Supreme Court serving as the highest court in the land.
