Answer:

a government ruled by an elected legislature and a prime minister

Step-by-step explanation:

Parliamentary democracy is a type of democratic governance best described by the division of three branches - legislative, executive and judicial. The executive gets its legitimacy from legislative power, most often a parliament, who gives confidence to the executive, or president.

Israeli system of governance relies on the Prime Minister as a head of government. Parliament in Israel is better defined as Knesset, a unicameral national legislature, and is a part of an elected legislature. The political system is set out in 11 Basic Laws of Israel. While the existence of Constitution is a defining part of typical parliamentary democracy, Israel does not have one itself.
