Las élites parlamentarias y su relación con los asuntos de Defensa es una dimensión poco analizada en la literatura académica. Debido a la importancia del poder legislativo en los sistemas democráticos, las Comisiones parlamentarias se configuran como un actor clave en las relaciones civiles-militares de los sistemas políticos parlamentarios. En el caso de Israel, la Knesset constituye un actor central en lapolítica nacional, siendo la Defensa y las Relaciones Exteriores una de las líneas centrales de acción de todos sus gobiernos. Debido a que los perfiles de los representantes pueden ser un input relevante para el proceso político, este artículo desarrolla un análisis en profundidad de los mismos. La investigación analiza cuantitativamente la evolución de los perfiles sociodemográficos y profesionales de los diputados en la Comisión de Defensa y Exteriores de Israel (1949-2021). A partir de los datos biográficos de los representantes, este artículo analiza (1) las características demográficas y formativas de los diputados, (2) la evolución de los perfiles en tramos temporales y (3) analizar la relación entre la evolución del Estado de Israel sobre los perfiles. Los resultados reflejan una preeminencia de los perfiles originarios de zonas urbanas, con estudios superiores y varones de mediana edad. Este artículo presenta futuras líneas de investigación que pueden permitir la conducción de investigaciones comparadas con otros Estados, así como profundizar en el estudio de las relaciones entre poder legislativo y ejecutivo en cuestiones como la Defensa Nacional.
