Watch the Israeli Knesset Live: Plenum Sessions and Committee Video
This feed plays on its own official site, so there is no player on this page. Use the link below to watch.
What Is This Feed?
The Knesset is Israel's single-chamber parliament, with 120 members who meet in Jerusalem. The Knesset Channel broadcasts its floor proceedings live.
When Can I Watch?
The Knesset works in a winter session and a summer session, with recesses between them. The plenum usually meets early in the week, from Monday through Wednesday. Jerusalem is usually eight hours ahead of Chicago. Schedules change, so confirm on the official site.
Why This Feed Matters?
Israel elects its Knesset by proportional representation, so many parties and viewpoints are in the chamber, and debates can get heated. Seeing them directly, including in Hebrew and Arabic, lets the public judge for itself.
Common Questions
