Gahal Faction in Knesset May Split •
Over Labor Party's Direct Vote Hill

JERUSALEM (JTA) — The Ga- .
hal faction, an alignment of llerut
and the Liberal Party which forms '
the major opposition to the Meir
government, appears headed for
a possible split over the electoral
reform bill adopted by the Noes-
set.
Ilerut's Knesset leader, Mena-
ehem Beigin and party chairman
Gen. Ezer Weizman, both declared -
Monday that they would not toter-
ate Liberal support for the meas-
ure which would institute direct
balloting for Knesset candidates'
on the basis of constituencies.
Several Liberal MKs voted with
the Labor Party last week to give
the Labor-sponsored bill a bare
majoritiy of 61 votes necessary to
pass its first reading in the Noes-
set.
The bill was immediately at-
tacked by Herut spokesmen who
claimed that it was a Labor
Party device to gain an abso-
lute majority, something that has
eluded the Party since Israel
was formed.
The measure envisages a sys-
tem by which a majority of MKs
would be elected directly in re-
gional voting and the remainder
selected from national party slates
under the proportional representa-
tion system that now prevails.
The bill is opposed by Herut. the
National Religious Party and most
of the which

would stand to lose Knesset seats
or disappear altogether under a
system of constituency elections.

Neither Beigin nor Weizman in-
dicated what they would do if
their Liberal partners persisted in
supporting the measure.
