So, I am not sure about the sex of cabinet personnel, and I will not relate to that issue, except to say that the religious parties do not include women (mistakenly in my opinion), and so their inclusion in the government will already skew things to the male side. (I also do NOT agree with giving someone a position just because they are a woman, Arab, white, etc... Positions should be filled based on qualifications, not physical/genetic characteristics). Also keep in mind, that it is the party members that determine who will represent their party in the knesset, not the general public. In Israel you vote for a party, likud, meretz, shas, etc.... NOT an individual. So if Joe Israeli likes likud's position on A,B,C issues, he votes for them, but he has no say (assuming he is not a likud member) in how many women likud has on their list, or their position on the list. So the problem of the amount of women is more a function of the party members, than the voting public.

I do think Bibi does what is good for Bibi, and in this situation, he needs people that will help him overcome his legal issues. It so happens, that those people are his normal go-to parties to form a government.

About the same number of Israelis voted for left leaning or right leaning parties as the last few rounds of elections. However due to the Israeli political math, There is a minimun percentage of total valid votes a party must receive. In the distribution of the votes some parties do better than others, but those that do not meet the thresshold are not allocated seats in the knesset. Those votes are then not counted. This resulted in what looks like an overwhelming win for the Right - which while true politically, is not as true mathematically. (Other countries are similarly confounded by their systems, for example, in Canada, Trudea is the elected prime minister, although I believe most people voted for his opponent, i.e. he lost the popular vote, but due to the way districts are drawn, his party won enough votes to win the election.)

If Israelis feel that this government is not good for them, not functional, doesn't represent their values, whatever, there are always elections in another few years. That is part of the beauty of a democratic system. There is always an opportunity to vote in someone else. (or even to get involved and make a more personal difference)
