Cabinet of David Ben-Gurion VI
The Cabinet of David Ben-Gurion VI ( Hebrew מֶמְשֶׁלֶת יִשְׂרָאֵל הַשְׁמִינִית, Memschelet Yisra'el haSchminit ) was the eighth government of Israel , the sixth with David Ben-Gurion as prime minister and the second during the Third Knesset's term . The government took office on January 7, 1958 and lasted until July 5, 1959.
The government was again supported by the Knesset factions Mifleget Poalei Erez Yisrael , National Religious Party , Achdut haAwoda , Mapam and the three parties representing the Arab Israelis : Reshima Demokratit LeAravei Yisrael , Kidma Ve-Awoda and Hakla'ut Ve-Pituah . Compared to the previous government , the ministries and ministers did not change. Shlomo Jisra'el Ben Me'ir was also Deputy Minister of Welfare .
On July 1, 1958, all ministers of the National Religious Party left the government after a dispute over “Who is a Jew?” (Original: Who is a Jew?). As a result, the ministerial posts were reassigned. Yisrael Barsilai ( Mapam ) took over the post for Josef Burg as Minister of Post . On December 3, 1958, Ja'akov Moshe Toledano (not a member of the Knesset) took over as Minister of Religion for Chaim-Moshe Schapira , until then the ministry was provisionally headed by the Prime Minister. Fritz Naphtali ( Mifleget Poalei Erez Yisrael ) was appointed Minister of Welfare , and he was also Minister without Portfolio until January 25, 1959. The three deputy ministers Moshe Unna (education), Serach Truely (religion) and Schlomo Jisra'el Ben Me'ir (welfare) were not replaced.
On June 26, 1959, Der Spiegel reported on arms deals between Israeli companies and the Federal Republic of Germany , involving mortars and the grenades required for them . This led to a government crisis, in the course of which it dissolved on July 5, 1959, after the ministers of the Achdut haAwoda and Mapam voted against David Ben-Gurion. David Ben-Gurion described these arms sales in a later interview with the newspaper Haaretz as "revenge on the Nazis".
Since David Ben-Gurion was unable to form a new government, President Jizchak Ben Zwi set the new elections for November 3, 1959 .
