Cabinet of David Ben-Gurion III
The David Ben-Gurion III cabinet ( Hebrew מֶמְשֶׁלֶת יִשְׂרָאֵל הַשְׁלִישִׁית) was the third Israeli government led by David Ben-Gurion . It was formed two months after the second parliamentary election on July 30, 1951 . The coalition government consisted of members of the parties: Mifleget Poalei Eretz Israel , Workers of the Misrachi , Spiritual Center , Agudah , The Workers of Agudat-Israel and the three parties representing the Arab Israelis : Reshima Demokratit LeAravei Yisrael , Kidma VeAvoda and Hakla'ut VePituah . The government consisted of fifteen ministers.
On September 23, 1952, the Agudah representatives and the Agudat-Israel workers left the coalition after Kalman Kahana was appointed Deputy Minister. Before that, there was controversy over the issue of women's participation in the country's armed forces . As a result, the coalition only had 60 seats in the Knesset .
Because of the dispute over religious education , the religious parties left the government on December 19, 1952, rendering it incapable of acting and disbanding it.
In the course of the government, some changes took place within the cabinet:
- Levi Eschkol was replaced as Minister of Agriculture by Fritz Naphtali on June 25, 1952 , Eschkol took over the finance ministry from Eliezer Kaplan instead . On that day, Dov Yosef was also replaced as Minister of Justice by Chaim Cohn .
- After Elieser Kaplan's death on July 13, 1952, the post of Deputy Prime Minister was not refilled.
- After the death of David-Zwi Pinkas on August 14, 1952, David Ben-Gurion also took over the Ministry of Transport .
