Fifteenth government of Israel
- Fifteenth government of Israel
The fifteenth government of Israel was formed by Golda Meir on 15 December 1969 following the October elections. The government was a continuation of the national unity government formed during the previous Knesset, and consisted of the Alignment, Gahal, the National Religious Party, the Independent Liberals and the Israeli Arab parties Progress and Development and Cooperation and Brotherhood.
Gahal left the coalition on 6 August 1970 after the government agreed to accept the Rogers Plan.
The government remained in place until 10 March 1974, when the 16th government took power following the December 1973 elections.
It is notable for being the first government to last a full four-year Knesset term, and the first to include any non-Jewish members; On 24 May 1971 Meir appointed Abdul-Aziz Zoabi as Deputy Minister of Health, making him the first Israeli Arab to join the cabinet. In November that year, Druze MK Jabr Moade also joined the cabinet as Deputy Minister of Communications.
