The correct answer is D. The prime minister is not directly chosen by voters.

Explanation:

The Israeli government is considered a parliamentary democracy, this means citizens elect representatives, and the government includes a parliament, which is known as Knesset and exerts the legislative power. Additionally, the Knesset is a unicameral entity elected by citizens for four years and includes 120 representatives. Besides this, the members of the Knesset elect the general President of the country, and this president chooses the Prime Minister who exerts the executive power. According to this, it is true "The prime minister is not directly chosen by voters" because this is elected by the President and the President is elected by the members of the Knesset.
