The Muslim nation of Lebanon has a Christian president....by law. Does Israeli law mandate any leadership position to someone of Arab descent?

lebanon Christian president - Google Search
Lebanon for a very long time was a christian not muslim nation, and the reason for the governments divsion on ethnic lines (i believe it goes christian presideint/sunni pm/shia majorty leader) is that the 3groups all want(ed) to co-exist without civil war (yes i know it happened anyway) and that was the divion that worked for them. it wasn't till outsiders meddled in their politics that they were shoken off balance.
