I have yet to see anyone express happiness with the way Netanyahu just bloated the government with a bunch of newly made-up ministries he and Gantz (mostly Netanyahu because Gantz got many of the real ones) could dole out to their cronies.

While nobody is happy about it, I think most are ok with it and acknowledge it as the price to pay for a "unity" government, and still cheaper than going to new elections. The biggest problem with the bloated government is not the cost, but the inefficiency we will see int he government serving the people. With so many ministries, there is going to be a lot of overlap and lack of clarity in responsibilities, and when there might be more than one office responsible for providing a service, watch them continually fight, watch people not know where to turn for help, watch the various offices dump on each other.

The best part of it is all the jokes about the made-up ministries, similar to the Corona jokes that were rampant on social media..at least the government is providing us with a source of fun and laughter. And maybe there should be a minister for that!
