The law limiting the prime minister's term to eight years will be brought to the approval of the Ministerial Committee for Legislation this coming Sunday, Justice Minister Gideon Saar announced this morning (Thursday).
The law will not apply retroactively, so that former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will have the opportunity to run for office and even serve for another eight years.
Saar issued the law memorandum early last month.
Under the proposal, a Knesset member who has served as prime minister for eight years, whether consecutively or not, will no longer be eligible to serve.
On the day that the eight-year period ends, the government will be seen as having resigned, and in accordance with the provisions of the Basic Law, this will lead to the opening of proceedings to form a new government.
The numerator of the periods will not take into account the period during which the Knesset member served temporarily and for a limited period of time as the Deputy Prime Minister due to the temporary absence of it, the language of the proposal.
The wording of the law stipulates that a term of office as the alternate prime minister in an exchange government is not a term of office as prime minister for the purpose of limiting tenure.

Saar explained on Twitter that this is a fulfillment of the platform of new hope.
"On Sunday, I will bring to the approval of the Ministerial Committee for Legislation the bill to limit the term of office of the Prime Minister to eight years.
Deputy Prime Minister Yair Lapid welcomed this, and promised that the proposal would be advanced.
"We keep another promise: this coming Sunday we will pass in the Ministerial Committee together with the Minister of Justice Gideon Saar the restriction of the term of office of the Prime Minister. There is a future fought for the term of office for years, now it comes," he said.
