...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 on the West Bank or on the issue of new Israeli settlements in the occupied territories. The DMC also objected to Begin's choice of Dayan as Foreign Minister. Yadin's party temporarily broke off negotiations, and Begin left three vacancies...
Solution Wanted. But Begin is more interested in wooing Archaeologist-General Yigael Yadin's Democratic Movement for Change, which won 15 seats at the expense of the Labor alignment. 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...
...million voters gave Begin's Likud 44 seats in the new 120-member Knesset, a gain of five. Labor ended up with 33 seats, a loss of 18 from the previous parliament. The new Democratic Movement for Change, led by Archaeologist and Onetime Chief of Staff Yigael Yadin, won 15 seats, most of them clearly at Labor's expense. Expectations are that Likud will be able to form a fragile, right-wing coalition government with the support of Israel's three religious parties (16 seats in the new Knesset) and of retired general Ariel Sharon, an ally of Begin whose...
Weizman, nephew of the first President of Israel, will probably be named Minister of Defense, succeeding Peres. Begin could decide to keep the Foreign Ministry portfolio himself?although he may offer it to Yadin, to attract support from the D.M.C. Simcha Erlich, 57, leader of the Liberal Party (one of the six that make up the Likud coalition), is a strong candidate to become Finance Minister. As his price for joining the coalition, Ariel Sharon would like to become chief of staff, a job now held by Lieut. General Mordecai Gur, a longtime ally of Moshe Dayan. Members...
...Peres and his party were being hurt by a widespread feeling that Labor is too susceptible to U.S. pressure. The polls showed that Likud may win 39 seats in the new parliament (the same as in the old one); Labor, however, may drop from 51 seats to 41, while Yadin's new party could get twelve to 14 seats. If these projections hold, Peres almost certainly will have to form a unity government of all parties, or at least a coalition with the Likud, whose blunt campaign slogan is to give "not one inch" of the occupied territories...
