The outgoing government, otherwise known as the 24th Knesset, will most likely go down in history as one of Israel's strangest governments with its diverse coalition ranging from the ostensibly right-wing Yamina and New Hope parties all the way across the spectrum to the Ra'am-United Arab List party.
It may also go down in history as one of the most ineffectual governments in Israel's history, with an extraordinarily low number of laws that passed into the books -- also due to the diverse nature of the coalition and the difficulty of imposing coalition discipline.
According to data obtained by Israel Hayom, the outgoing government submitted 172 legislative proposals during its one-year tenure, of which just 75 passed all three Knesset votes and became law. This translates to just 43 percent success.
By way of comparison, the 23rd Knesset (the Netanyahu-Gantz government) had an 85 percent success rate in passing bills, with 93 of 109 legislative proposals making it through all three Knesset votes.
Further back in history, the 20th Knesset (between the years 2015 and 2019) had a 91 percent success rate, and the 19th Knesset, an 83 percent success rate.
In addition, throughout the outgoing government's period in office, 100 laws in total made it into the law books, which include a number of private members' bills submitted by individual MKs rather than the government itself.
There were 4,072 legislative proposals submitted by private members, of which 22 made it through all three Knesset votes -- just 0.54 percent.
Another interesting statistic that testifies to the difficulty the outgoing government had in passing legislation is that of the 100 bills that were voted into law throughout the year, 32 became law in June, 2022, in the last month of the government's term of office. These laws were largely "tying up loose ends" and the opposition voted in favor of many of them.
Per month on average, 271 private members' bills were submitted to the Knesset during the tenure of the outgoing government, a relatively high figure in comparison to previous governments, such as the 20th Knesset, during which there were an average of 133 private members' bills per month.
