Joints evicting centre group from foreign government (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

knesset

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'foreign government' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both groups as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'joints evicting centre group from' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'group' could be 'set' (both can mean a collection) and 'set' is found in the answer.
'from' could be 'e' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'e' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for knesset that I've seen before include "Israel's parliament" , "Israeli parliament" , "Israel parliament" .)
