	Politics of Israel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Israel's governmental system is based on several basic laws enacted by its unicameral parliament, the Knesset.
		Israel's legal system is best described as a "mixed" one: it belongs to the western legal tradition, it is heavily influenced by the Anglo-American legal system, has some aspects which are typical to the Civil Law tradition, and has unique characterisitics which are induced from the fact that Israel is a Jewish and democratic state.
		From the founding of Israel in 1948 until the election of May 1977, Israel was ruled by successive coalition governments led by the Labour Alignment (or Mapai prior to 1967).

	The Local Dimension in Israeli Government and Politics
		Israel is well-known as a state in which political power is heavily concentrated in its central institutions, both government and party.
		The opposition parties lost control of most of the local governments which had been in their hands in the prestate period and were replaced by new coalitions dominated by Mapai, the Israel Labor party that was dominant in the country as a whole.
		The most powerful local governments, those of the kibbutzim, and secondarily the older moshavim, were attracting a proportionately smaller share of the new immigrants and losing their importance in the local government constellation as a result.
