Let’s get educated on Israel’s leadership system. The Israeli president is very similar to the King or Queen of the UK. They are mainly ceremonial with just a little power. The executive power comes from their Prime Minster and is more comparable to the US president.

On June 2, 2021, the Israeli Knesset (Israel’s 120-seat unicameral legislature) elected Isaac Herzog as their nation’s tenth president. President Herzog will serve one seven-year term—he cannot be reelected, a recent change in their system, which previously allowed for two five-year terms.

Like the king or queen of the United Kingdom, the president’s role is largely a ceremonial one, like his appointment of the prime minister and of judges. He signs the laws passed by the Knesset (except those pertaining to his own powers).

Israel's true executive power resides with the prime minister

When Israel is discussed in the media, it's usually Netanyahu's name that you hear in the news and whose face you often see on television. He is the face of the country when it comes to conducting foreign policy with other government leaders around the world. It is the Israeli prime minister—not Israel’s president— that will travel to the United States to meet with the U.S. president.

Israel must hold a national election at least every four years (but elections can be called earlier). As mentioned above, the president will choose a party leader that can form a coalition government. It will usually be the party that got the most votes in the election, but not always.

I hope none of it has ever leaked in her bag.

An old debate but still relevant.
