The Type of Government

Israel is a democratic republic with universal suffrage that operates under a parliamentary system. This means that the people of Israel have the right to vote freely for the party that they choose. There are three branches of government in Israel: legislative, executive and judicial. There is no definite distinction between the legislative and executive branches of government, since the executive branch depends on the support of the legislative branch. Israel also has both a Prime Minister and a President, each of which has a different job.

Israel’s rules and regulations come from their set of Basic Laws. There are eleven of them, and they lay down the order and structure of how the Israeli government functions.

Technically, your work is extremely good. You show a clear understanding of how the political system functions. What you forget to deal with is the constant threat of attack that Israel faces from enemies within the country and out of the country. This is one of the constants of political life in Israel.
