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 Ahdut HaAvoda 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 PresidentYitzhak Ben-Zvi that he was unable to form a new government.[1]
1 Although Sapir was not an MK during the third Knesset, he was later an MK for Mapai.
2 Carmel did not enter the Knesset until 9 June 1958.
