The newly formed 23rd Knesset (Parliament) of Israel is well diversified, including representation from various religions like Jewish, Muslim, Christian and Druze. Immigrants are also well represented, and 24% of the Knesset members are female. Ages range from 36 to 71, with the average age being 54.
The government coalition has 73 members from 7 parties: Likud, Blue and White, Shas, United Torah Judaism, Derech Eretz, Gesher and Labor. The cabinet has 34 ministers, including 8 women. Previously, the highest number of women in the Knesset was four. About half of the ministers will be first-timers.
We encourage all our readers to pray for wisdom for Israel’s two leaders: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Alternate Prime Minister Benjamin Gantz.
