The third government of Israel was formed by David Ben Gurion on 8 October, 1951, more than two months after the elections. His Mapai party formed a coalition with Mizrahi, the Mizrahi Workers, Agudat Israel, Agudat Israel Workers and the three Israeli Arab parties, the Democratic List for Israeli Arabs, Progress and Work and Agriculture and Development. There were 15 ministers.
Agudat Israel and Agudat Israel Workers left the coalition on 23 September 1952 (though Kalman Kahana remained a deputy minister) shortly after disagreements over the conscription of women into the IDF. This left the government with only 60 of the 120 seats in the Knesset.[1]
The government resigned on 19 December, 1952 due to a dispute with the religious parties over religious education.
Two ministers, Eliezer Kaplan and David-Zvi Pinkas died in office.
