Official system and how it worked in practice
| Official system | Parliamentary republic (no single written constitution; Basic Laws) |
|---|---|
| In practice, 2022 | Liberal democracy electoral democracy plus strong rule of law, judicial and legislative checks, and protected individual rights |
| In practice, 2023–2025 | Electoral democracy free and fair multiparty elections and basic freedoms |
“In practice” is V-Dem’s Regimes of the World classification for Israel, 2022–2025, from expert-coded data (V-Dem Regimes of the World (v2x_regime), V-Dem dataset v16, March 2026). V-Dem codes each country as it stood at the end of each year, so the first and last years can reflect the previous or next government. The official system is the constitutional form during the period.
