has Sapir, secretary-general of the
Labor Party, minister without port-
folio in the cabinet and former
finance minister. He asserted that
the alignment will not be just a

JERUSALEM—The coat of arms
of the Spanish town of Tudela was
affixed Monday to the facade of a
house on the Jerusalem street
named for Benjamin de Tudela,
the 12th Century Jewish traveler
and chronicler, at ceremonies at-
tended by the Spanish consul gen-
eral, Alberto Pasqual Villar.
Villar spoke in Spanish and
translated his own remarks into
Hebrew. There are no diplomatic
or consular relations between Is-
rael and Spain. The consul general
is one of eight consuls in Jeru-
salem who are non-accredited but
enjoy the privileges of their posi-
tion. The coat of arms was given
to the Jerusalem town clerk when
