TL;DRA proposal to repeal the Alternate Government Law and the amendment to Basic Law: The Government that anchor the mechanism.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The proposal proposes to repeal Amendment No. 8 to Basic Law: The Government and the Alternate Government Law of 2020, which anchor a mechanism under which the office of Prime Minister may rotate between two politicians. The explanatory notes argue that the mechanism causes distortion of political considerations and blurring of the government hierarchy. The repeal will apply to all legislation related to this mechanism.
