Israeli media: The opposition is considering changing the law to allow voters to directly elect a prime minister separate from the government. According to the plan, the voters themselves will choose the prime minister, and the winner will be able to form a cabinet without the support of 61 Knesset members. The idea was called the "Netanyahu 2021 model". This is exactly the mechanism that the Prime Minister proposed five years ago after inconclusive elections. Now his opponents want to use this plan to create a minority government without the support of Arab parties, to avoid new elections and an alliance with Netanyahu. However, to implement the plan, the legislation will need to be changed. No final decision yet.
