Unbelievable bias
OK, I get it, Wikipedia is rabidly far left woke and hates Jews who stand proud, but it's more than usually despicable to use this article to attack Begin. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.18.122.83 (talk) 11:02, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
Katza'v Defeat over Peres?
Likud's Moshe Katsav's defeat over Labour's Shimon Peres in 2000 was an upset. <-- What does "deafeat over" someone mean? Katzav won against Peres, or Peres would be Israel's President rather than Katzav. -- Nahum 00:05, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
Acting presidents are NOT presidents
Every Speaker of the Knesset is Acting President when the current president is not in acting duty. This can be anything from incapacity due to illness (like
My point is: please remove anyone not chosen directly for the job from the list.
Incidently: Katsav is not "suspended". The correct term is "temrorarily incapacitated" (his incapacity, in this case, is by his request, and theoreticaly he can just decide he iis coming back at any point). DGtal 22:07, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
Dalia Itzik is NOT the president of Israel. also, Shimon Peres was just elected as president. i dont understand why you reverted my changes. --80.74.110.170 11:53, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
Wait 'til Peres takes office
Let's wait until Peres takes office, before we put 'ending dates' on Katsav & Itzik's tenures. PS- As for the above, I too believe 'Acting Presidents' should be removed from the list. GoodDay 17:13, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
- Also let's wait until Katsav (and Itzik) actually leave office, that'll occur at Peres' inauguration. GoodDay 19:47, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
Wikitable of Presidents
I made a wikitable of the Israeli Presidents, the table (with adaptations) is based on the table for the
- I don't know how to fix the appearance, however I have some advice on the list. Keep Katsav presidency tenure as incumbent (exampe: August 1, 200- present) & don't list Shimmon Peres at all. Your current model wouldn't come into effect, until July 15, 2007. Wait until Peres is inaugurated. GoodDay 18:40, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
- So that gives us about 4 weeks or so for someone to step forward and make the adjustments necessary, that should be plenty of time! 68.100.248.53 00:46, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Powers of the president
I think that this text, from the section on presidential powers, may be incorrect:
The powers of the President of Israel are rather limited in scope compared to heads of state in other countries.
First of all, "other countries" is too vague. Does it mean all other countries? Some other countries, and, if so, which ones?
Secondly, in a parliamentary democracy, the role of the head of state is always relatively limited. The Queen of England, for example, exercises almost no real political power except naming the prime minister (who is really chosen by the majority party), signing legislation, and calling early elections if required. The role of President in Germany and Italy is similar. The list of duties and powers of the Israeli President matches very closesly the duties of most other chiefs of state in parliamentary systems. It is only in comparison to a presidential system, like that of the United States, that the Israeli president's power seems "rather limited." However, parliamentary democracy is practiced in almost every democratic European state, plus Canada, Australia, Japan, Iraq, India, and Turkey (either as a democratic constitutional monarchy or as a republic).
Therefore, I changed the language to read:
The powers of the President of Israel are generally equivalent to those held by chiefs of state in other parliamentary democracies.

Overly-complicated results table
This table was recently added to the article, which I think is way too complex and unnecessarily detailed. I tried to cut it down to this, but was reverted, so for the meantime have removed it entirely pending consensus for its inclusion.
As well as being overly-complex, the table was also quite poorly formatted, with "Runner-UP" capitalised for no obvious reason and indecipherable (and incorrectly capitalised) headings like "W. Votes".
Perhaps as a compromise we could include the votes for the winner (in the final round), the runner-up and their votes in the final round, plus a single notes column to mention any other candidate or how many rounds were required? Number 57 07:57, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
Bad Link in the External links:
The link Knesset.gov.il: President of the State of Israel Official website under ==External links== suggested links no longer works (404 error) and should be removed. I would remove it but the page is locked. Kwfinken (talk) 18:37, 19 November 2022 (UTC)
What does it mean "ceremonially appoints", "nominally appoints"?
Can the president veto the bills or appointments? Reciprocist (talk) 18:03, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
