A bigger table is needed to seat all 30 ministers, and six deputy ministers of Benjamin Netanyahu’s new government, the largest in Israeli history. This absurd formula is created to appease Netanyahu’s coalition partners. He even had to split the Ministry of Culture, Sport and Science into two ministries to get everyone on board.

Netanyahu also created a new ministry for himself. Apart from being prime minister he will also function as minister of Financial Strategy, while Mr. Yuval Steinitz gets the (separate!) Finance ministry. The one thing missing is a Ministry of Silly Walks.
