This Is How The New York Times Pictures The New Israeli Prime Minister


The picture says it all.

They could have found a nicer picture. The NYT mentioned Bibi's coalition and cabinet announcement, illustrated by Bibi's face cropped out of the picture above. The article points out the size, enormous size of the cabinet, the humongous amount of ministers and deputy ministers.
