Basic Law: The Government (Amendment No. 11)

An additional minister can be appointed in a ministry, responsible for certain areas of the ministry and subordinate to the minister in charge of it. The government can decide to appoint an additional minister and set their areas of responsibility, with the Knesset's approval. The government can also decide, without the Knesset's approval, to move areas of activity between the minister in charge and the additional minister. In addition, if a person was convicted of an offense and sentenced to prison, the period in which they are barred from being appointed minister starts on the day of the verdict or on the day they finished serving the sentence, whichever is later. A request can be made to the chair of the Central Elections Committee to determine that the offense does not involve moral turpitude, which allows the appointment, unless a court has already ruled that it does.
