The article discusses changes in executive–legislative relations in Israel during the early 1990s, in particular the introduction of the so-called direct election system for the prime minister. The reform was an effort to strengthen the executive and empower the prime minister, since it hoped to achieve a drastic reduction in the number of parties, hence facilitating the job of coalition making and maintenance. The reform, however, failed to achieve its goals and was recently replaced by an improved version of the previously existing system. After a brief discussion of Israel's political system before direct elections, this article will provide an overview of executive–legislative relations as well as executive leadership in Israel under the direct election law
