Cabinet of Israel

The Cabinet of Israel (Hebrew: ממשלת ישראל, romanized: Memshelet Yisra'el; Arabic: مجلس وزراء إسرائيل, romanized: Majlis Wuzaraʾ Israʾil) is the cabinet which exercises executive authority in the State of Israel.

Under Israeli law, the prime minister may dismiss members of the government but must do so in writing, and new appointees must be approved by the Knesset.

In most parliamentary regimes, the head of state is nominal chief executive, while bound by convention to act on the advice of the cabinet.

"The kitchenette"), a collection of senior officials, or unofficial advisers to the Security Cabinet of Israel.

It was formed as the People's Administration (Minhelet HaAm) on 12 April 1948, in preparation for independence just over a month later.
