Elections in which Israelis choose members of the Knesset, determining the government and prime minister. Their results affect Israel's policy toward Lebanon and the region.
Israeli legislative elections are the mechanism by which the 120 members of the Knesset are elected under a proportional representation system. After the vote, consultations are held to form a governing coalition led by a prime minister. Israel's policy toward Lebanon and the wider region is affected by the coalition's identity and balance.
