Jerusalem, Capital of Israel
In 1949, Israel designated West Jerusalem as its capital.
Jerusalem, the capital of Israel, is located in the heart of the country, nestled among the Judean Hills. The city ancient stones, imbued with millennia of history, and its numerous historical sites, shrines and places of worship attest to its
meaning for Jews, Christians and Muslims.
The Knesset
The Knesset year (or annual sitting) is Israel's parliament divided into two sessions - the Winter Session, which opens after the summer recess at the end of the High Holidays, and the Summer Session, which opens after the Passover recess. Every Knesset can have as many as five annual sittings, where each such sitting usually opens at the beginning of the Winter Session and closes at the end of the Summer Session.
