Best Answer

The first Prime Minister of Israel was David Ben Gurion, and the first President was Chaim Weizmann. It is important to note that in Israel, the President is a largely ceremonial position; the Prime Minister wields actual power.

Israel's independence was declared on May 14, 1948, and its first election held on February 19, 1949, both during the administration of President Harry S Truman in the US.
