Opposition ahead: Kadima petitioned
the Knesset Secretariat on Monday asking that it orders Tuesday's induction ceremony for Prime Minister-designate Benjamin Netanyahu's new
government be led by a viva voce vote – a personal vote – rather then an electronic one.
Netanyahu officially asked the Knesset to hold a swearing in ceremony for his government at 5 pm Tuesday. Having a personal vote means that Knesset members would be eligible to vote for – or against – the new cabinet, only after their name is called.

The centrist party also plans anther front against Netanyahu's 30-minister cabinet, as Monday morning saw MK Yohanan Plesner present the Knesset with a bill calling to limit the number of ministers in any government to 18. A previous bill to that effect was brought before the House by the Likud and
was lauded by Netanyahu.
"There is a stark contrast between the monumental inflation in the number of ministers and the dissection of government offices into tiny crumbs. This is outrageous spending of the taxpayers' money and a surefire recipe for a failing government," Plesner said.
