| | Prime Minister - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A Prime Minister is a politician who serves as the head of the executive branch of government in a parliamentary system. | | | However in many jurisdictions a head of state may refuse a parliamentary dissolution, requiring the resignation of the prime minister and his or her government. | | | When former Prime Minister of New Zealand Jim Bolger became the Ambassador to the United States, he was referred to as “Prime Minister Bolger”, which was both poor style and factually incorrect. |

| | Prime Minister of Israel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | At its founding, the State of Israel adopted a British-inspired parliamentary system, with a Prime Minister as the most powerful political leader of the government and a largely ceremonial President of Israel as head of state. | | | As the result of Ariel Sharon suffering a severe stroke on January 4, 2006, and being put under general anesthetic, Ehud Olmert became the Acting Prime Minister pending an outcome to Sharon's health crisis. | | | Thus, in 2003 and subsequent elections, the Prime Minister is chosen as the head of the largest party in the Knesset. |

| | Rather, one of the government ministers held the semi-official title of President of the Council of Ministers ( Président du Conseil des Ministres, short Président du Conseil), and was unofficially known as the prime minister ( premier ministre). | | | Decrees and decisions of the Prime Minister, as almost all executive decisions, are subject to the oversight of the administrative court system (see Conseil d'Ãtat). | | | When the President and the Prime Minister are of the same party, the Prime Minister often plays the role of a "fuse": that is, citizens lay the blame of the failures of governmental policy on him, and when the Prime Minister is unpopular, he resigns in order to protect the President. |
