How the exam will ask it
ಪ್ರಿಲಿಮ್ಸ್
- In Israel's parliamentary system, the president invites a Knesset member to try to form a government; the invitee need not be the leader of the largest party.
- The Knesset is a unicameral legislature of 120 members, so a governing coalition needs the support of at least 61.
- Israel's head of state is the president, whose role is largely ceremonial, while executive power rests with the Prime Minister and cabinet.
ಮೇನ್ಸ್
GS Paper 2 (International Relations, West Asia): coalition politics in Israel shapes its stance on Gaza, Iran and normalisation with Arab states. Under Israel's parliamentary system the president picks the member most likely to command a Knesset majority, and fragmented mandates make coalition bargaining decisive. For India, a change of government matters for defence, technology and trade ties, the I2U2 grouping and the India-Middle East-Europe Corridor, so New Delhi should keep engaging across the political spectrum.
