Study warns: Unelected officials weakening Knesset authority
New Yachin Center study warns balance of power has shifted from elected lawmakers to the Knesset's legal bureaucracy, calls for reforms to restore legislative authority to members of Knesset.
Assessment
A new study from the Yachin Center argues that Knesset authority has eroded as power flows to unelected legal advisors and internal bureaucracy rather than elected lawmakers. The claim centers on a structural shift in governance, not a single policy dispute. The report calls for reforms to restore decision-making to MKs, which could reignite debates about the proper role of professional civil service within Israel's parliamentary system.
