Yes, I understand that Iran also have a Parliamentary Democracy but it is based and controlled by Islamic religion which is not what my teacher was looking for. Anyway thank you both!
To determine which Middle Eastern nation is governed by a parliamentary democracy, let's break down the options:
A) Iran: Iran's political system is a combination of a theocracy and a republic, with the Supreme Leader holding the highest power. It does not have a parliamentary democracy.
B) Iraq: Iraq is a parliamentary democracy, meaning that the country is governed by a parliament where elected representatives make decisions and the Prime Minister serves as the head of government.
C) Israel: Israel is a parliamentary democracy as well. It has a system where the Prime Minister is the head of government and the Knesset (parliament) is the legislative branch.
D) Saudi Arabia: Saudi Arabia is an absolute monarchy, where ultimate power rests with the King and there is no parliamentary democracy.
Based on these options, the Middle Eastern nation that is governed by a parliamentary democracy is either B) Iraq or C) Israel.
