Cabinet of David Ben-Gurion II
The David Ben-Gurion II Cabinet ( Hebrew מֶמְשֶׁלֶת יִשְׂרָאֵל הַשְׁנִיָּה) was the second Israeli government formed after the first general election on January 25, 1949 . This became necessary because the previous government resigned on October 15, 1950.
The minority cabinet negotiated by David Ben-Gurion between Mapai and Sephardi and communities of the Orient was not elected during the Knesset meeting on October 17, 1950. Two days later, Israeli President Chaim Weizmann instructed the leader of the progressive party Pinchas Rosen to form a new government. This new government was founded by David Ben-Gurion on November 1, 1950 with the same coalition partners as the previous government: Mapai, Progressive Party, United Religious Front , Sephardi and Communities of the Orient and the Democratic List of Nazareth .
Small changes took place in the cabinet:
- David Remez took over the Ministry of Education and replaced Salman Shazar .
- Dov Yosef took over the Ministry of Transport .
- Pinchas Lawon took over the Ministry of Agriculture .
- Jakob Geri became Minister for Trade and Industry .
The government resigned on February 14, 1951 after the Knesset rejected David Remez's proposal to register school children .
