The five committees with the highest attendance in the 25th Knesset. “Spoke” is counted from the committee sessions that were analysed. The data has no committee membership list, so this is attendance and speaking, not formal membership.

No attendance at committee sessions was found in the 25th Knesset. Anyone who did not serve in the 25th Knesset does not sit on committees, so there is no record here.
