Best Answer

Shimon Peres was the President of the State of Israel in 2012. Peres was elected by the Knesset (the Israeli Parliament) for the presidency on 13 June 2007 and sworn into office on 2007 July 15 for a seven-year term, becoming the 9th President of Israel. He also previously served as the 8th Prime Minister of Israel.

It should be noted that the Israeli President is a largely ceremonial position, like the Queen of England is today. The person with real power in Israel is the Prime Minister and as of 2012, that is Benyamin Netanyahu.
