Israel is a Parliamentary Democracy. The Prime Minister is the head of a coalition that can command a majority of the 120 seat Knesset (Asembly). The Knesset is elected by proportional voting where each party gets the percentage of seats corresponding to its percentage of the vote. The President is elected by the Knesset and has no real powers. The capital is Jerusalem.

no he was'nt

No. He refused to be Prime Minister because a). he was a physicist, somewhat

of a loner, and had no interest in holding public office; b). he felt that he wouldn't

be too good at it; c). whether or not he turned out to be good at it, it would certainly

interfere with his day-job as a Nobel-Prize-winning physicist; d). he was smart

enough to know that becoming Prime Minister is not something that someone just

hands you if you want it, like a king's crown; you have to campaign for votes and

be elected to it, and he had no interest in putting himself through that process;

e). the "Palestinians" didn't enter into it at all. For one thing, until only a couple of

years before that time, Israelis themselves had also been referred to as "Palestinians",

and the label hadn't yet been appropriated as a human-rights mantra. Also, those

Arabs who had chosen to stay when the new nation was declared independent

had it as good as anyone else in Israel, and were in no "plight". Finally, those who

had chosen to get out temporarily until the surrounding nations and their armies

could finish destroying the new nation, and were temporarily sitting in "refugee camps"

in Egypt and Jordan, were there temporarily of their own choice, and weren't expected

to be there very long ... it was inconceivable that their "hosts" would leave them there

without assistance for six months, let alone sixty years.

Reception of Refugees 1948-1949: Palestinian Refugees fleeing Israel ended up in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, and Egypt. In Jordan, certain Palestinians were allowed to apply for citizenship, but the majority were not and they were forced to live in Refugee Camps. Those who did not become Jordanian citizens remain refugees and their children remain refugees to this day. Those who did become citizens have an identifier in their passports saying that they are Palestinian (which opens them up to discrimination).

Black September Sept. 1970 to July 1971: A Civil War in Jordan in which around 15,000 Palestinians (militants and civilians) were killed by Jordanian Authorities after the Palestinian pseudo-state that had developed in western Jordan had attempted to assassinate King Hussein.

But to address the question, the size of Israel has grown and shrunk over last 100 years.
