Israeli government one of world's largest
While Chinese government has one minister for every 47 million residents, there are 259,507 people for each minister in Israel. Country's cabinet is relatively largest in world
The new government will place Israel at the top of the list of developed countries in the world with the lowest number of residents for every government minister. The Chinese ministers, for example, can be jealous of their Israeli counterparts: While in Israel there is one minister for every 259,507 citizens – every Chinese minister is "responsible" for 47 million residents.
China is not alone. A Yedioth Ahronoth check found that countries with large populations make due with a minimal number of ministers. The United States runs itself as a strong power with 15 ministers in total. Every American minister has around 20 million citizens. In Russia there are just 16 ministers: One minister for every nine million residents.
Among developed countries there are not many countries which have more than 22 ministers. Together with Israel the list has only six other countries: France (32 ministers), South Africa, Australia, and China (each having 28 ministers).
