		In a democracy, the Knesset is supposed to elect and disband government, not the opposite.
		It is true that I agreed to order the Knesset disbanded, because I wanted to allow the prime minister to conduct the affairs of state during the interim period with a minimum of disturbance.
		I was convinced there was no justification for forcing the prime minister to conduct lengthy negotiations with Knesset factions to achieve the necessary parliamentary majority to approve new government ministers during the interim period, as some smaller party factions demanded.

	Israeli Elections to the 16th Knesset - Jan 28, 2003 Special Update
		Knesset elections are based on a vote for a party rather than for individuals, and the many political parties which compete for election to the Knesset reflect a wide range of outlooks and beliefs.
		Parties represented in the outgoing Knesset can automatically stand for re-election; other parties may present their candidacy by obtaining the signatures of 1,500 eligible voters and depositing a bond, which is refunded if they succeed in receiving at least 1.5 percent of the national vote, entitling them to one Knesset seat.
		Like the Knesset, the government usually serves for four years, but its tenure may be shortened if the prime minister is unable to continue in office due to death, resignation or impeachment, when the government appoints one of its members (who is a Knesset member) as acting prime minister.

		The outgoing 16th Knesset scored an impressive achievement, when 15 percent of Knesset members were women.
		The Arab parties have never saved a Knesset seat for a woman candidate; paradoxically, Tamar Gozanski was the only woman to sneak through the conservative filter into the 15th Knesset as a representative of the Hadash party – and she's Israeli.
		Even though this right will not be taken away by Israel's women voters, for their own good, women in the 16th Knesset have the requirement and parliamentary activity, clear for all to see and out of all proportion to that of their male counterparts.
