Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The bill provides that an MK cannot serve as Prime Minister for more than two consecutive terms. A term is defined as the period in which an MK heads a government in which the Knesset has expressed confidence, from the start of their government until a new government is formed. The limit will apply starting from the 26th Knesset. The explanatory notes state that the limit is meant to preserve democratic turnover at the head of the system and governmental stability, and is not related to the party identity of the Prime Minister.
