Tenth government of Israel

The tenth government of Israel (Hebrew: מֶמְשֶׁלֶת יִשְׂרָאֵל הַעֲשִׂירִית, translit. Memshelet Yisra'el HaAsirit) 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. It turned out to be the last government led by Ben-Gurion.
