Committees of the Knesset

Committees of the Knesset (Hebrew: ועדות הכנסת) operate within the Knesset and are its subsidiary institutions entrusted with specific matters.

The committees are an important executive arm of the Knesset's work and are structured in the form of the party power relations of the Knesset composition. The purpose of their establishment is to reduce the workload of debates in the plenum and to enable closer supervision and monitoring of focused areas of action.
