Tenth government of Israel
- Tenth government of Israel
The tenth government of Israel was formed on 2 November 1961 following the August elections. Although David Ben-Gurion was appointed Prime Minister, the government was actually formed by Minister of Finance, Levi Eshkol. On 7 September Ben-Gurion had told President Yitzhak Ben-Zvi that he was unable to form a government; on 14 September Ben-Zvi asked Eshkol to form a government, with Eshkol subsequently announcing that he would do so with Ben-Gurion as PM.[ [http://www.jafi.org.il/education/jafi75/timeline5b.html#1 1961 timeline] Jewish Agency for Israel] It turned out to be the last government led by Ben-Gurion.]The coalition included Mapai, the National Religious Party, Ahdut HaAvoda, Agudat Israel Workers, Cooperation and Brotherhood and Progress and Development. Deputy Ministers were appointed four days after the cabinet was in place.
The government fell on 16 June 1963 when Ben-Gurion resigned "because of personal needs".
