    They have. It’s one term. But Netanyahu isn’t president, he’s prime minister. Prime ministers typically don’t have term limits because their offices doesn’t come with that much power and are easy to remove. Parliament can elect a new one any day. Netanyahus power comes from his party following him. And that’s not something you can put term limits on.

      … yes, it plainly is.

      It is utterly trivial to put hard time limit on any government position. We have the technology to count.

        Right? It’s all just made up policy anyways, just change the policy. It should not be allowed.

        Not to mention I didn’t use the words president or prime minister. I don’t care what his job title is, he needs to have no more power and be removed from all official positions.

        He has created a system to keep him in power forever as a supreme ruler, what’s that called again? Oh right, it’s a right wing government and that’s always their end goal.

        Obviously you can limit the time someone can hold a position. But you can’t simply limit the time someone remains the person other people listen to. Take Poland for example. Officially Kaczyński hasn’t been in power for nearly a decade. But he likely remains the most powerful person in the country.
