  After the 2019–2021 Israeli political crisis, Israel's Basic Law: The Government underwent a major change. A system of two prime ministers, appointed at the same time by the Knesset, was established. According to the new method, there was an Alternate Prime Minister of Israel in addition to the standard Prime Minister of Israel. After a half of the government's term, the two prime ministers would change positions as part of a rotation government. During the term, the government's roles and duties were divided between the two prime ministers, each one of them entitled to remove ministers without the other's interference.
  
  However, this system did not survive even until the first planned rotation and was abolished again after the formation of the thirty-seventh government of Israel at the end of 2022.
