The power of the
Knesset to supervise and review government policies and operations is exercised mainly through the state
comptroller ( Mevaker HaMedina). The state comptroller is appointed by the
President of Israel upon the recommendation of the House Committee of the Knesset for a single term of seven years. The incumbent is completely independent of the government and is responsible to the Knesset alone (the state comptroller's budget is submitted directly to the Knesset's Finance Committee and is exempt from prior consideration by the Ministry of Finance). The state comptroller can be relieved only by the Knesset or by resignation or demise. During the incumbent's term of office, he or she may not be a member of the Knesset or otherwise engage in politics and is prohibited from any public or private activity that could create a conflict of interest with the independent performance of the duties of the office. The state comptroller, although lacking in authority to enforce compliance, has broad investigative powers and employs hundreds of staff members, including accountants, lawyers, and other relevant professionals.
