Opposing Parties Unite
to Govern Israeli Town
TEL AVIV (JTA) — The town
of Ramat Gan has become the first
municipality in Israel to be gov-
erned by a coalition of the Align-
ment (Mapai and Ahdut Avoda)
and Gahal (Herut and the Liberal
Party), groups that were hitherto
in opposition.
The combination came about
when the Alignment agreed to join
the Gahal-led coalition, headed by
Mayor Abraham Krinitzi of Gahal,
who continues as mayor while the
Alignment's Uriel Abramovitz
takes the post of deputy mayor.
The agreement, which gives the
coalition 17 of the 21 seats on the
town council, was approved at a
meeting of the municipality last
niL;ht.
