Deputy Agriculture Minister Michael Dekel asked the Defense Ministry to prosecute army reserve officers who, while on active duty, signed antiwar petitions and called for the dismissal of Defense Minister Ariel Sharon. He described their actions as "the first signs of mutiny" and "something we have never witnessed before." Acting Attorney General Meir Gabay named a team of investigators to decide whether Journalist-Politician Uri Avnery should be prosecuted for slipping into West Beirut to meet with Yasser Arafat...
