Head Chairs: Jack Laser and Carter Wagner
Assistant Chair: Eli Moog
Assistant Chair: Eli Moog
The Knesset is the legislative branch of the Israeli government that acts similar to the U.S Senate, and is divided into many political factions that have different beliefs. In this committee, delegates will debate issues such as the crisis in the West Bank, and the mistreatment of Arab Israelis living in the Jewish State. Delegates should come well versed on the complex historically and religiously rooted problems that exist in the region, and should stay true to the strong beliefs of the Knesset members. However, delegates should come into debate looking to find solutions to these issues with their fellow delegates.
