Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The proposal adds a new section to Basic Law: The Government, stating that an MK will not be able to serve as Prime Minister for more than two consecutive terms of office or eight consecutive years, whichever is longer. The proposal will apply starting from the 26th Knesset onward. The explanatory notes state that the goal is to allow democratic turnover at the head of the system and to prevent prolonged concentration of power in the hands of one person.
