The info box states that Peres was affiliated with Kadima until 2016, yet Kadima was dissolved in 2015. The Hebrew Wikipedia has different years and affiliations that, generally, make more sense. Maybe replace our list? gidonb (talk) 18:47, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

In the first sentence, please change

was an Israeli politician who served as the ninth president of Israel from 2007 to 2014 and as the eighth prime minister of Israel from 1984 to 1986 and from 1995 to 1996.

to

was an Israeli politician who served as the eighth prime minister of Israel from 1984 to 1986 and from 1995 to 1996 and as the ninth president of Israel from 2007 to 2014.

This puts the sentence in chronological order, and since the prime minister is far more important than the president, it puts the more significant office ahead of the less significant office. 123.51.107.94 (talk) 03:13, 9 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The word "interregnum" could possibly describe a politician out of office, but only in a joking tone. It isn't suitable in this sense for an encyclopedia article. TooManyFingers (talk) 02:48, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
