Ceremonial head of state of Israel, elected by the Knesset for a seven-year term. The president plays a critical procedural role in coalition formation: after an election or government collapse, the president designates a Knesset member (almost always a party leader) to attempt to form a government, and may designate a second if the first fails. The office is formally above party politics.
Head of government of Israel and the most powerful executive position in the Israeli political system. The prime minister is typically the leader of the largest party in the governing coalition and must maintain the confidence of the Knesset. The office manages security policy, coalition maintenance, and the cabinet, and has grown in dominance relative to the Knesset since the 1990s.
