How does democracy work in Israel?
Every vote plays a part in shaping the Knesset, Israel's 120-member parliament.
Here's a closer look at Israel's electoral system, from the ballot box to the distribution
of seats. 🇮🇱
🇮🇱🗳️ Israel’s 26th Knesset elections by the numbers:
From hundreds of millions of ballot slips to free public transport on Election Day, today is shaping up to be one of Israel’s biggest-ever elections!

Fun fact: Election Day in Israel is a paid day off. 🇮🇱
First, we vote. Then we beach. 🏖️

Iran’s links to the anti-Israel protest movement are hardly surprising, and this report highlights just how dangerous they are.
The Telegraph reveals that a leading activist had contact with individuals later sanctioned over ties to Iran.
The question is no longer just who is leading these protests, but who may be manipulating them behind the scenes.
The leader of an activist group behind pro-Palestine protests in the UK met with two individuals later sanctioned over their links to Iran, The Telegraph can reveal.
In 2014, Medea Benjamin, the co-founder of anti-war organisation Code Pink, was in contact with men later identified by US officials as facilitators for the Islamic Republic’s foreign intelligence⤵️

An incredible show of support for Israel at the 46th Annual Night to Honor Israel at @SACornerstone Church in San Antonio!

How does 🇮🇱 democracy work?
In Israel, every citizen aged 18 and over has the right to vote.
Each vote determines which party a voter supports. The results determine how the 120 Knesset seats are distributed, which parties enter parliament, and who can form a government.
A 3.25% electoral threshold. A parliamentary majority of 61 seats.
🇮🇱🇺🇸 250 technology leaders. 50 states. One Startup Nation.

Another Palestinian terrorist attack in Judea and Samaria today, killing 2 Israeli soldiers and injuring 3 more.
Palestinian terrorists continue their lethal attacks on Jews in a doomed effort to remove us from our homeland.
Will the media cover the scourge of Palestinian terrorism the way it has covered the olive harvest? Of course not. It doesn’t fit the narrative.
We mourn the loss of two IDF soldiers who fell during combat at the Judea Junction:
🕯️ Staff Sergeant Ron Yonatan Roytman, 23, from Ashkelon, a squad commander.
🕯️ Sergeant Yuval Shai Svilem, 20, from Hod Hasharon, a combat soldier.
Both served in the Ari Battalion (775), Search and Rescue Brigade.
Our hearts are with their families and loved ones.
May their memories be a blessing.
Yesterday, Consul General @Adi_Farjon and DCM @ShoshanElad met with Texas State Senator @PhilKingTX following his recognition at the Unicorn Rodeo Conference in Dallas.
A steadfast champion of Israel, Senator King has been a longtime friend and partner of the Consulate in strengthening the Texas-Israel relationship and combating antisemitism.
We are grateful for his continued leadership and look forward to building on this strong partnership!
Today, Consul General @Adi_Farjon Israel met with @RepBethVanDuyne to discuss the importance of combating antisemitism and strengthening the U.S.-Israel relationship.
We are grateful for Congresswoman Van Duyne’s steadfast support for Israel and the North Texas Jewish community, including her legislative efforts to combat antisemitism and condemn terrorism.
