Facts

After Israeli elections are held, the members of the Knesset (legislative branch) are tasked with forming a new government (executive branch), and the proposed government stands before the Knesset to receive its vote of confidence. At this point, the new government officially announces an outline of its policies. Coalition agreements between the different political parties in the Knesset form part of this process. Coalition agreements establish proposed policies, composition (who will hold what government positions), and areas of action for the new government. A dispute arose over whether the coalition agreements should be made public, and the dispute was submitted to the Israel Supreme Court for review.
