Committees on Particular Matters

Knesset Committees on particular matters function in a similar manner to the permanent committees, but are appointed for a limited period of time. Sometimes, after functioning for awhile, they are turned into permanent committees. For example, at the beginning of the thirteenth Knesset the Committee for the Advancement of Women was established as a committee on a particular matter. In February 1996, it was turned into a permanent committee.

Currently Functioning Committees on Particular Matters:
   Committee on Drug Abuse
   Committee on the Rights of the Child
   Committee on Foreign Workers
   Public Petitions Committee
