The Shadow Cabinet of Tommy Lapid was created on 3 January 2005 following Shinui's withdrawal from the government in December 2004. Although the idea was considered before, 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.
