Twenty-first government of Israel
Encyclopedia
The twenty-first government of Israel
was formed by Shimon Peres
of the Alignment
on 13 September 1984, following the July elections
. With both the Alignment and Likud
winning over 40 seats each, neither side could form a stand-alone coalition, resulting in a national unity government, together with the National Religious Party
, Agudat Yisrael, Shas
, Morasha
, Shinui
and Ometz
, which together held 97 of the 120 seats in the Knesset
. However, in protest at the alliance with Likud, Mapam
broke away from the Alignment, as did Yossi Sarid
, who joined Ratz.
The government was replaced by the twenty-second government
on 20 October 1986, when Yitzhak Shamir
replaced Peres as Prime Minister in accordance with the rotation agreement between the Alignment and Likud. The rotation agreement also led to the creation of the post of Acting Prime Minister, who would take over the powers of Prime Minister if they were incapable of fulfilling their duties, as opposed to the Deputy Prime Minister, which was a symbolic role. The Minister of Police was also restored to the cabinet.
1 The post was initially called the Minister of Economics and Inter-Ministry Coordination, before being renamed on 16 September 1984.
