The Royal Knesset of Yisrael is the bicameral national legislature of the Kingdom of Yisrael. It is the legislative branch of the Kingdom and its territories. It currently has 150 members, of whom 30 are elected directly by citizens who are registered voters in the Bais Kohen (the upper house) and 120 in the Bais Yisrael (the lower house).
The Knesset, collectively, is charged with lawmaking, declaring war or authorizing military force, the power of the purse, creating or eliminating public services, the oversight, investigation, and impeachment of sitting government officials, ratifying treaties, and providing the advise and consent for presidential appointments.
Legislation may be introduced in the Bais Yisrael by an individual Member of Knesset (MK) or groups of MKs. Per its parliamentary model, it elects the Leader of the Bais Kohen and Speaker of the Bais Yisrael from its largest or governing party after each election. The Knesset must have an election every two years for the lower house, and a third of the upper house is up for election at each cycle.
The Knesset is widely-known for its unruly, polarized political atmosphere and unstable deal-making.
