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:
