Attorney General Elyakim Rubinstein spared Netanyahu and Hanegbi but said his office had made no decision on Lieberman and was considering an indictment against Deri for extortion, obstruction of justice and fraud. Why Netanyahu got off the legal hook may be partly explained by chief prober Sando Mazor. He conceded in a covering letter that much of the evidence against Netanyahu came from just one "central witness," who, Israeli press reports say, is Dan Avi-Yitzhak. He was a strong candidate for Attorney General and also happened to be Deri's trial lawyer until Deri forced the Bar-On choice...

Shas is the only "religious" party in the coalition and joined it amid cries of betrayal from the other conservative, religious parties. Although it is a small party with only a few votes in the Knesset, its absence from the coalition would mean that Rabin would be forced to rely on Arab party votes to sustain his majority. If Rabin and the Labor party...
Interior Minister Aryeh Deri counters that only 5% are non-Jews. Angry immigrants warn that any slowdown in approving visas could cost lives. "Jews must get out quickly," says Emi Spielman, who arrived from Chernovtsy two weeks ago. The 60-year-old cobbler is still recovering from a skin graft he needed after an anti-Semitic gang burst into his house in the Soviet Union last April, pinned him down and burned his stomach with a hot iron...
