Talk:Prime Minister of Israel

message: The table is misleading now because it says that Sharon "Left office" and "Took office" in 2005, which is false. He has only left the post as leader of Likud, and continues to serve on the same term of office as PM. It is not necessary to make a new row for someone who just has switched party. Levi Eshkol, who also switched party during his term, does not have two rows. /Slarre 18:04, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Eshkol didn't switch parties. His original party, Mapai, merged with other parties (Ahdut HaAvoda and Rafi) and became known as the Labour party. Mapai was the dominant part of the merged party. Sharon's case is very different. He and several other members were a minority who split from their original party and found a new party. This move was against the majority of the ruling party.--Nitsansh 00:25, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

text: According to my calculation, on April 14th, 100 days after Sharon was declared "temporarily incapable", his status will officially change to "permanently incapable" and Olmert's title will change from substitute of the PM (ממלא מקום ראש הממשלה) to acting PM (ראש הממשלה בפועל) until a new government, most likely headed by Olmert, will be approved by the Knesset and sworn in. For all practical purposes, Olmert has almost all the power of PM, whether he is substitute, acting or elected. The only authority that a temporary PM doesn't have, whether he is a substitute or acting, is to call for early elections. However, the legal advisor to the government has decreed that it's not appropriate for a "lame duck" PM and government to make major policy decisions.--Nitsansh 00:32, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: This is not true. The only requirements as far as the Basic law: The government is concerned is that the PM must be a member of the Knesset (which in turn means they are bound by Basic law: The Knesset, which requires them to an Israeli citizen who is at least 21 years old and not to be the president, chief rabbi, judge, state comptroller, chief of staff of the IDF, rabbi/priest/imam or senior civil servant/soldier). пﮟოьεԻ 57 08:14, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

message: I came here looking for information on term limits to the post of Prime Minister.  Are there any?  I would assume not since it's not mentioned in the article but maybe that should be pointed out somewhere.  If anyone answers my question, please ping me in the response as I don't watch this page.  Thanks, Dismas|(talk) 09:21, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: No, there aren't. As far as I'm aware, no country has term limits on the Prime Minister - it's generall only something that applies to presidencies. Number 57 10:50, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Term limit? 

message: There appears to be a word missing in the last part of this sentence: "Israel is a republic with a President as head of state. However, the President's powers are largely ceremonial; the Prime Minister the real power." 
I suggest changing "the Prime Minister the real power" to "the  Prime Minister holds the real power". Seuisaan (talk) 17:35, 12 September 2018 (UTC)

message: Bibi absolutely is *not* Prime Minister as of this writing! First, the results of the 2022 election must be presented officially to the President, who must then invite a Knesset member to form a government. Only when that prospective government wins a vote of confidence can there be a new incumbent. The clear victory of Bibi's bloc in the election notwithstanding, this can take multiple weeks.
In the meantime, please put Yair Lapid back. Anodeenzyme (talk) 18:32, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. Yair Lapid is still prime minister. The new government hasn't even been formed yet so there is no way that Benjamin Netanyahu is Prime Minister. UltraaaDev (talk) 19:13, 3 November 2022 (UTC)

thread_title:  New portrait of Netanyahu 

message: In "History" section, "2003 onwards" subsection, the final paragraph:
:In 2021, Naftali Bennett became prime minister. He was succeeded in 2022 by his coalition partner, Yair Lapid.
Change it to read:
:In 2021, Naftali Bennett became prime minister. He was succeeded in July 2022 by his coalition partner, Yair Lapid. In December 2022, Benjamin Netanyahu returned to the prime ministership, as a result of the previous month's election.
Justification: the history section ends with Lapid becoming PM in 2022, but doesn't cover that he was replaced by the return of Netanyahu in the same year. So add a sentence to the end of that paragraph briefly mentioning that. The lede and infobox of the article have already been updated to cover Netanyahu's return, but this history section was missed. As well as adding that sentence, specify the month in which Lapid came to power – I think it is important to give the month, due to the unusual situation that Lapid's term of PM lasted for less than a year, and his successor was installed in the same year. I don't think we need to give the month for Bennett, since he actually lasted for more than 1 year (if only by two and a bit weeks). SomethingForDeletion (talk) 03:28, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

message: Mcvayn restored the passage
 Unlike most prime ministers in parliamentary republics, the prime minister is both de jure and de facto chief executive. This is because the Basic Laws of Israel explicitly vest executive power in the government, of which the prime minister is the leader.
with the following reasoning:
 In most parliamentary republics, the head of state is notionally the chief executive but is required to exercise executive power on the advice of a prime minister who, as head of government, enjoys the confidence of parliament. This is not the case in Israel; the Basic Laws explicitly confer executive power on the Government, which the prime minister leads.
I would have reverted him (but someone beat me to it) because:
 If that were true (for which Mcvayn brings no source) then why restore the previous obscure wording with those vague terms "de jure/facto" - and I most parliamentary republics I know have the prime minister etc. as the chief of the executive - anyway, this article should concern itself with the PM of Israel, not other countries.
