As Israel faces political gridlock, Benjamin Netanyahu exercises interim prime ministerial authority to manage security matters and constrain his political rivals, Al Jazeera English reported. The caretaker powers allow him to handle routine government functions and security decisions while the country navigates its political impasse.
Netanyahu's interim status grants him significant latitude over security policy and state operations during the deadlock, though certain major decisions typically require a full government coalition to proceed. His position enables him to maintain influence over key institutional levers while formal government formation remains stalled.
