The Knesset is Israel's 120-member, single-chamber parliament in Jerusalem
Background
The Knesset is Israel's unicameral parliament and has 120 members.
Members serve a term of four years.
Voters elect it by nationwide proportional representation, with the whole country as a single constituency.
The cabinet must win a Knesset vote of confidence.
Because single parties rarely win a majority, coalition governments are common, and a government needs 61 of the 120 seats.
The Knesset sits in Jerusalem.
Members:
120
Term:
Four years
Houses:
One (unicameral)
Seat:
Jerusalem
Why it matters for exams: Parliament size, term and electoral system are standard comparative-polity questions.

In plain words
Unicameral having a single legislative chamber — The Knesset has no upper house.
Proportional representation seats shared in proportion to votes won — Israel uses one nationwide constituency.
