Het weekendmagazine van de Israëlische krant Ha'aretz publiceerde onlangs een artikel met een aantal hervormingsideeën van het politieke stelsel in Israël. Loting stond bovenaan de lijst. Yoram Gat, van de gerenommeerde Amerikaanse lotingswebsite Equalitybylot.com, werd ervoor geïnterviewd, en publiceerde de vertaling van het gedeelte over loting. Daaruit:
"[...] the laws of probability guarantee that such a body would reflect the makeup of the population. The number of men and women will be approximately equal, the distribution of ages and education of the members would be identical to the distribution in the citizenry and so would be the proportions of religious and secular members and the Jews and Arabs. Ideologically as well such a Knesset would reflect the ideological diversity of society."
"The Knesset members would interview experts as candidates for ministers and would be able to fire them if their performance is unsatisfactory. The idea is that the Knesset would consider the executive body as its agent."
