Basic Law: The Government (Amendment No. 17) (Abolishing the Alternate Government) Bill

Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק-יסוד: הממשלה (תיקון מס' 17) (ביטול ממשלת חילופים)

TL;DRRepeal of the provisions of the law relating to an alternate government, with conforming changes to related sections of Basic Law: The Government.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The proposal repeals Sections 13A and 43A to 43H of Basic Law: The Government, which set the arrangement of an alternate government in which two MKs hold the office of Prime Minister alternately for a fixed period. Consistent with the repeal, the proposal updates other sections in the Basic Law and in complementary laws to remove references to this arrangement. The proposal is intended to apply starting from the 26th Knesset.
