Bill limiting PM to 8 years heading to Knesset for final approval

The Knesset’s Constitution, Law and Justice Committee has voted to send a bill that would limit a prime minister to eight years in power to the Knesset for final passage.

The law, which is being pushed by Justice Minister Gideon Sa’ar, was inspired by opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu, who was in power for over a decade before being replaced in June by Naftali Bennett.

The proposal will now go to the Knesset for second and third readings to be passed into law.
