The Knesset in the Government System
 

The Knesset as an Elective Body

The Knesset also has an elective function:

Once every seven years the Knessets elects the President of the State and the State Comptroller. Every Knesset elects two of its members to represent it on the Committee for the Appointment of Judges. Representatives of the Knesset participate in the election of dayanim (Jewish religious judges) and kaddis (Muslim and Druze religious judges), and by means of the House Committee the Knesset also elects five of its members to represent it on the elective body of the Chief Rabbinical Council.
