}}The Speaker of the Knesset ({{lang-he|יושב ראש הכנסת}}, Yoshev Rosh HaKnesset, literally: Chairman of the Knesset) is the presiding officer of the Knesset, the unicameral legislature of Israel. The Speaker also acts as President of Israel when the President is incapacitated. The current speaker is Yuli-Yoel Edelstein. To date, Ahdut HaAvoda's Nahum Nir is the only Speaker not to have come from the ruling party, though in two cases (Avraham Burg and Reuven Rivlin) the party of the speaker (One Israel and Likud respectively) lost power during their term. The speaker is expected to act in a non-partisan nature, but may occasionally take part in debates, and is allowed to vote. Knesset Speakers (1949–present)| Colour key | | Mapai/Ahdut HaAvoda/
