Knesset members are assigned to committees, while chairpersons are chosen by their members, on recommendation of the House Committee, and their factional composition represents that of the Knesset itself. Committees may elect sub-committees and delegate powers to them, or establish joint committees for issues concerning more than one committee. To further their deliberations, they invite non-voting people, like government ministers, senior officials, and experts in the matter being discussed. Committees may request explanations and information from any relevant ministers in any matter within their competence, and the ministers or persons appointed by them must provide the explanation or information requested.<sup id="cite_ref-virtual_4-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-virtual-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>There are four types of committees in the Knesset.

Special committees function in a similar manner to permanent committees, but are appointed to deal with particular manners at hand, and can be dissolved or turned into permanent committees. Parliamentary inquiry committees are appointed by the plenum to deal with issues viewed as having special national importance. In addition, there are two types of committees that convene only when needed: the Interpretations Committee, made up of the Speaker and eight members chosen by the House Committee, deals with appeals against the interpretation given by the Speaker during a sitting of the plenum to the Knesset rules of procedure or precedents, and Public Committees, established to deal with issues that are connected to the Knesset.<sup id="cite_ref-15" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-16" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p><b>Permanent committees:</b> </p> <ul><li>House Committee</li> <li>Finance Committee</li> <li>Economic Affairs Committee</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Foreign_Affairs_and_Defense_Committee" title="Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee">Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee</a></li> <li>Interior and Environment Committee</li> <li>Immigration, Absorption, and Diaspora Affairs Committee</li> <li><a href="/wiki/The_Knesset_Committee_on_Education,_Culture_and_Sport" class="mw-redirect" title="The Knesset Committee on Education, Culture and Sport">Education, Culture, and Sports Committee</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Constitution,_Law_and_Justice_Committee" title="Constitution, Law and Justice Committee">Constitution, Law and Justice Committee</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Labor,_Welfare_and_Health_Committee" title="Labor, Welfare and Health Committee">Labor, Welfare and Health Committee</a></li> <li>Science and Technology Committee</li> <li>State Control Committee</li> <li>Committee on the Status of Women</li></ul> <p><b>Special committees:</b> </p> <ul><li>Committee on Drug Abuse</li> <li>Committee on the Rights of the Child</li> <li>Committee on Foreign Workers</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Israeli_Central_Elections_Committee" class="mw-redirect" title="Israeli Central Elections Committee">Israeli Central Elections Committee</a></li> <li>Public Petitions Committee</li></ul> <p>The other committees are the Arrangements Committee and the Ethics Committee.

Within the framework of responsibility, the Ethics Committee may place various sanctions on a member, but is not allowed to restrict a member's right to vote.
