Abstract

The British mandate in Palestine after the First World War continued the old Ottoman custom of governing through representatives of religous groups. The Jewish community in Palestine enjoyed a high degree of communal self-government. In 1920 an Assembly of the Elected (Asefhat Ha’Nivharim) was established. All members of the Jewish community aged 20 or over were entitled to vote. The Israeli party system developed from the system of the mandate period, and a number of post-independence Israeli parties first contested elections under the mandate.
