With the opposition Labor Party calling for a vote of no confidence, there were serious doubts as to how long Shamir's fragile majority would hold together...
...sharply with the shrill, impulsive outbursts of his predecessor. Still, Arens is as fully committed as Sharon and Begin to Israel's role in Lebanon and to retaining control over the West Bank. The other leading candidates for the top job are David Levy, the Deputy Prime Minister, Yoram Aridor, the Finance Minister and, even though the chance is remote, the fiery Sharon. The last choice, should it come to pass, would surely provoke immense controversy both in Israel and abroad...
