Deputy Prime Minister (Israel)
The post of Deputy Prime Minister in Israel can be divided into three categories: Acting Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Minister and Vice Prime Minister. Israeli law distinguishes between acting prime minister (מלא מקום ראש הממשלה) and the acting Israeli interim prime minister . The office of Israeli acting prime minister may only be temporarily exercised for 100 consecutive days as long as the prime minister is incapacitated. The Israeli interim prime minister, on the other hand, comes into play if the incumbent prime minister is declared permanently incapacitated.
Acting Prime Minister
The Acting Prime Minister ( Hebrew ממלא מקום ראש הממשלה, Memaleh Mekom Rosh HaMemschala , "Platzausfüller the Prime Minister") was created as a precautionary measure in the event that for failure of the prime minister of the provisional prime minister immediately and easily into office as prime minister, first as acting or interim basis or temporarily can not accept.
The Acting Prime Minister is charged with taking on day-to-day business on an interim basis, but is not authorized to make long-term decisions.
The office may only be held provisionally for 100 consecutive days as long as the Prime Minister is incapacitated. While in other countries the term “ Acting Prime Minister ” only refers to a one-off role currently being performed, in Israel the term is also used for a Knesset member who has been appointed “Acting Prime Minister”, even if the activity to be performed never and only becomes current there remains a potential or latent possibility of being able to temporarily exercise the office after all. The update or implementation of the potentially possible activity has only taken place once to date. For example, when Ariel Sharon was formally declared incapable of government on April 11, 2006 and Ehud Olmert acted as Prime Minister until April 14, 2006.
The office was created in 1984 for the elections of the 11th legislative period, when Yitzchak Shamir received this office on September 13, 1984. So the coalition agreement had HaMa'arach and Likud provided that Shimon Peres was to take over the post of Israeli prime minister for the first part of the term during which Shamir appointed as Acting Prime Minister. In September 1986, Shamir was supposed to replace Peres within the framework of the Israeli model and he became provisional prime minister. However, neither of them actively conducted business as acting prime minister.

Deputy Prime Minister
The office of Deputy Prime Minister ( Hebrew סגן ראש הממשלה, Segan Rosh HaMemshala ) was created in 1963 when Abba Eban received this post in the government of Levi Eshkol . In 1977 Menachem Begin even had two deputies.
This post was abolished from 1992 to 1996, but was re-established when Binyamin Netanyahu appointed four deputies in 1996. There were three deputies in Ehud Olmert's government cabinet: one from his party, and the party leaders of the other two major parties from the governing coalition ( Avoda and Shas ). The second ruling coalition under Benjamin Netanyahu again had four deputies: one from his party ( Likud ), and the party leaders of the three other major parties in the ruling coalition (Schas, Ha'Atzma'ut and Yisrael Beiteinu ).
