First government of Israel
- First government of Israel
The first government of Israel formed by David Ben-Gurion on 8 March, 1949, a month and a half after the elections for the first Knesset. His Mapai party formed a coalition with the United Religious Front, the Progressive Party, the Sephardim and Oriental Communities and the Democratic List of Nazareth, and there were 12 ministers.
Ben-Gurion resigned on 15 October 1950 over after the United Religious Front objected to his demands that the Supply and Rationing Ministry be closed and a businessman appointed as Minister for Trade and Industry, as well as issues on education in the new immigrant camps.
