The Shadow Cabinet of Tommy Lapid was created on 3 January 2005[1][2] following Shinui's withdrawal from the government in December 2004. Although the idea was considered before,[3] especially in the 1980s when Likud and the Israeli Labor Party formed large blocs in the Knesset, this was the first time a Shadow Cabinet was formed in Israel.
