Likud Motion of No-Confidence
in Rabin Defeated by Knesset

JERUSALEM (JTA) —
The Knesset voted 63-34
Monday to defeat a Likud
non-confidence motion after
Premier Yitzhak Rabin ex-
plained the reasons why Is-
rael's original arms pur-
chase list submitted to the
United States last year had
to be revised and insisted
that his criticism of the list
at a Jan. 29 press briefing in
Washington was not an at-
tack on Defense Minister
Shimon Peres.
Rabin
acknowledged
what most Israelis had
taken for granted from the
outset — that he was the
"senior source" who told Is-
raeli newsmen in Washing-
ton that the weapons list
was sloppy, inflated and re-
flected no honor on the
state. If those remarks were
interpreted as an attack on
the Defense Minister, "then
this is to be regretted, for it
was certainly not my inten-
tion," Rabin told a packed
chamber.
He said responsibility
for the original list and the
revised one rested with
himself and Peres and rep-
resented a joint decision.
He referred to the episode
as a "marginal issue" and
regretted that it had been
blown out of proportion to
its importance.
The Likud motion, intro-
duced by Haim Landau, a
leader of its Herut faction,
called for a vote of no-con-
fidence in the government
on grounds that Rabin's re-
marks in the U.S. had done
Israel incalculable harm
and demonstrated that the
government was badly split
and could not function pro-
perly.
Likud's resounding defeat
demonstrated in fact that in
a crisis, the coalition gov-
ernment and the Labor
Party would rally around
the premier.
The coalition parties were
joined by Independent MK
Binyamin Halevi. Former
Defense Minister Moshe

Dayan, a frequent critic of
Rabin's policies and an asso-
ciate of Peres in the Rafi
wing of the Labor Party,
also voted with the govern-
ment. Twelve abstentions
were registered by the small
minority opposition parties
— Citizens Rights, Social
Democrats, Moked and
Rakah. •
Rabin's presentation to
the Knesset consisted of
two parts — an explana-
tion of the revised arms
purchase list and a gen-
eral report of the results of
his talks in Washington
with President Ford and
key Administration and
Congressional leaders.
With respect to the latter,
he stressed that agreement
was reached to attempt to
reconvene the Gerfeva con-
ference and at the same
time to explore other peace-
making initiatives. He said
there was also agreement
between the U.S. and Israel
on non-recognition of the
Palestine Liberation Organ-
ization since the PLO does
not recognize Israel and
does not accept Security
Council Resolution 242.
The premier was not spe-
cific as to what develop-
ments could be expected
next on the diplomatic
scene. This strengthened
the general assessment here
that the coming weeks and
months would be used,
mainly by Washington, to
explore various possible ap-
proaches, including Israel-
Jordan talks. King Hussein
of Jordan will visit the U.S.
next month.
Rabin told the Knesset
that "no operative deci-
sions" were required in the
immediate future'.

His presentation of the
arms list issue was more
detailed and specific. He
said that when he briefed
Israeli correspondents in
Washington Jan. 29, his
intention was to explain to
them the complexities in-
volved in submitting Is-
rael's weapons request to
the U.S. and why the list
presented earlier last year
had to be revised and re-
submitted in December in
more modest form.
In that connection, Rabin
disclosed that during nego-
tiations in May 1974 it was
agreed that Israel would
submit its arms requests
projections for a 10-year
period.
He said these requests
were duly prepared but in
the course of further consul-
tations with the U.S. and
during the Congressional
procedures involving Israel's
immediate arms grants, it
became clear that more
modest lists would have to
be submitted.
He said the reasons
were: soaring prices in the
U.S.; "changes of priori-
ties" in American plan-
ning; and opposition in
Washington to certain
items on the list which
threatened to prejudice
Israel's case for the imme-
diate supply of other
items.
While he was in Washing-
ton, Rabin said, he tried to
explain to Congressional
committees the justification
for Israel's requests under
the revised lists. He praised
Peres and his military and
civilian aides for their work
in preparing bot the original
and revised lists and
stressed that, as premier, he
had approved both.

Knesset OKs Abortion Bill

JERUSALEM (JTA) — A
bill that would substantially
liberalize Israel's strict
abortion laws swept to a
46-27 victory on its first
reading in the Knesset
Tuesday despite bitter pro-
tests from the religious par-
ties and traditional-minded
members of other factions.
The overwhelming ap-
proval was significant in
that both the Labor Party
and Likud allowed their
members to vote their con-
science. There were three
abstentions.
The bill, sponsored by
Chaika Grossman of Ma-
pam, would permit abortion
within the first three
months of pregnancy if ap-
proved by a committee of
two experts. The latter
could be either physicians,
public health nurses or so-
cial workers.
The present law_ bans
abortions unless continued
pregnancy endangers the
health of the mother. Stiff

Only one man was created
by God as the common
ancestor of all, for the sake
of the peace of the human
race, that one may not say
to another, my ancestor was
better than thine.
—Mishnah Sanhedrin

jail sentenses are mandated
for illegal abortions, but in
recent years, although the
abortion rate has soared,
the penalties were rarely
applied.
