| So who else does the prime minister get to help run the country? | |
 | |  |
|
 |
| | |
| Well, the prime minister elects a cabinet of ministers to help. The current prime minister's name is Benjamin Netanyahu, by the way. I call him "Benji" for short. | |

| Doesn't Israel also have a president? | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| Yes, he's elected by the Knesset and is considered the head of state. His name is Reuven Rivlin. I don't have a cool name for him. My brother calls him "Ruff Rocky," but that never made my tail wag. | |

| What is the government mostly concerned about in Israel. | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| They're mainly concerned about their conflict with Palestine and hope to return some of the Occupied Territory to Palestinians. Boy, they sure like to bark at each other sometimes! | |
