Binyamin Netanyahu’s new government will take the oath of office on Tuesday at 5:00pm, assuming the responsibility of running the nation. At present, it appears that Israel’s 32nd government will be composed of 30 ministers and a number of deputy ministers, vying for the largest cabinet in the nation’s history. Supporters of the coalition explain it is a necessity to accommodate the broad-based coalition but opponents remain critical, insisting the coalition does not have enough support in the 120-seat Knesset to justify its size.
In the meantime, the logistical preparations are underway, including Cabinet Secretary-designate Tzvi Hauser having the government table enlarged to accommodate the new cabinet.
Premier-designate Netanyahu on Monday is expected to inform party members of their ministerial appointments, which are expected to number 12 slots, the result of ministers-without-portfolio and splitting the responsibilities of existing ministries.
