...seat Knesset with a tenuous majority. He can count on the support of 63 members: 43 from his own Likud bloc, 16 from Israel's two right-wing religious parties, former General Ariel Sharon and a colleague who represent the conservative Shlomzion Party, new Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan and one independent. Begin had hoped to build a sturdier and broader-based coalition by getting the support of the centrist, 15-member Democratic Movement for Change. Talks between the parties bogged down on foreign policy. To the dismay of DMC Leader Yigael Yadin, Likud refused to soften its stand...

Yadin, who wants the Foreign Minister's portfolio that Begin offered to Moshe Dayan (TIME, June 6), last week stressed that serious ideological differences still separate the D.M.C. and Likud: "They say there should be Israeli sovereignty between the sea and the River Jordan, and we say there should be territorial compromise for peace. The question is: What will happen within the next year or two?" On the West...
