Eighth government of Israel
- Eighth government of Israel
The eighth government of Israel was formed by David Ben-Gurion on 7 January, 1958, and was the second government of the third Knesset. Ben-Gurion kept the same coalition partners as during the previous government, i.e. Mapai, the National Religious Party, Mapam, Ahdut HaAvoda, the Progressive Party, the Democratic List for Israeli Arabs, Progress and Work and Agriculture and Development. The only change to the cabinet was the addition of Shlomo-Israel Ben-Meir as a Deputy Minister.
All ministers and deputy ministers from the National Religious Party left the cabinet on 1 July 1958.
The government collapsed following Ben-Gurion's resignation on 5 July 1959 after Labour Unity and Mapam voted against the government during a vote on selling arms to West Germany and then refused to resign from the government. New elections were called in November that year after Ben-Gurion told President Yitzhak Ben-Zvi that he was unable to form a new government.
