Parties in Israel's current opposition bloc are considering legislation to introduce direct elections for prime minister in a bid to break the political deadlock and form a minority government without relying on the support of Arab parties, according to The Times of Israel.

The proposal would allow voters to elect the prime minister separately from the government, potentially providing a way out of the political impasse following Tuesday's election, in which neither Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's bloc nor the opposition secured a majority in the 120-member Knesset.


Under the proposed system, a candidate winning a direct election for prime minister could theoretically form a minority government without securing a Knesset majority.

However, Israel's quasi-constitutional Basic Law: The Government requires a prospective government to secure a vote of confidence in the 120-member Knesset before being sworn in. Introducing direct elections would therefore require an amendment to the law, necessitating the support of at least 61 lawmakers, The Times of Israel reported. - ANI
