Israeli Enemy Regime Gets Its 11th President

A parliamentary vote chooses Isaac Herzog, a former Labor chairman and opposition politician, as the Israeli regime’s 11th president.

The 60-year-old was appointed to the position in a Wednesday ballot held at Knesset (the Israeli parliament), AFP reported.

Herzog won the vote against only rival Miriam Peretz, to replace President Reuven Rivlin.

The regime elects presidents every seven years, and lets each one run a single incumbency.

Israeli presidents wield limited executive power, making them act as more of figureheads.

In 2015, Herzog lost his chance to become the regime’s prime minister against Benjamin Netanyahu, who has been holding onto the position by hook or the crook for 12 years.

His appointment came as Netanyahu could be witnessing the twilight of his already long-drawn-out career due to his unprecedented unpopularity among both the Israeli public and politicians.
