The Cabinet vote was 12-6. A Cabinet source said later that had Begin re- mained adamant and gone to the President, "a gov- ernment under Shimon Peres would have been functioning within a week." The source reasoned that Labor would simply give the same undertakings and pledges to the religious par- ties as Begin had signed last year, justifying this to its constituency by the overrid- ing need to remove Begin and set up an alternative government. Although the immediate resignation threat is now removed, the government still faces tough tests in the days and weeks ahead. Wednesday there were budget votes in the Knesset and Rabbi Haim Druckman (NRP), the man really re- sponsibile for Tuesday's tie, said Wednesday morning he would once again vote with the opposition. This would be an even more serious and embarrasing blow for the government, for it would mean that government- introduced measures were not getting through the Knesset. But government floor-managers were say= ing Wednesday that if the coalition can just hold on for a few weeks, until after the Sinai pullback, things will start looking up again. After the withdrawal has become a fait accompli, they calculate, Druckman will return to the coalition fold, and possibly even Tehiya will be prepared to cooper- ate with the government against the centrist-leftist Knesset opposition instead of teaming up with that op- position as it did Tuesday night. But there were other voices within the coalition predicting elections by the fall or at the latest by next spring. These people seemed to feel that Tues- day's drama had shaken up the political situation so forcefully that a return to the status quo was not likely. Wednesday's budget de- bate was as bitter as Tues- day's session on the no- confidence motions. With Druckman determined to vote against Likud and the votes of other hard-line co- alition partners uncertain, the government ultimately postponed the budget mo- tion. The new budget was scheduled to go into effect next Thursday. However, if the present parliamentary stalemate continues, Israel may enter the new fiscal year, for the first time in its history, with no approved budget. Labor Alignment sources said Wednesday that key figures in the Likud coalition offered them a way to avoid such a development, by passing in the Knesset Finance Com- mittee an agreed formula for an interim budget which would be approved as a pri- vate member's bill instead of a government-proposed budget. The no-confidence mo- tions Tuesday were triggered by the escalation of violence on the West Bank this past week follow- ing the removal of the elected mayor and town council of El Bireh for refus- ing to cooperate with the civilian regime Defense Minister Ariel Sharon set up in the territory last year. Although the West Bank violence triggered the motions, the Likud coalition defectors were all hard-line opponents of Israel's planned with- drawal from the Sinai Desert next month in ac- cordance with the Camp David accords' and the Israel-Egypt peace agreement. The debate was enlivened by an angry personal clash between Sharon and Labor Party chairman Shimon Peres. The Defense Minis- ter accused Labor of "re- sponsibility for the rise to power of the PLO" on the West Bank because it allowed free municipal elec- tions there in 1976. The elections brought to office a younger generation of mayors who are staunch Palestinian nationalists. NI NI MOE 111111 Sharon accused the Labor-led government of acting more harshly toward the West Bank Arabs be- tween 1967 and 1977 than the Likud government has during its five years in office. Mapam MK Victor Shemtov reminded Sharon that he had served as Labor Premier Yitzhak Rabin's security adviser in 1976 and as such shared responsibil- ity for the policies. Peres, in a low key speech, criticized tY )v- ernment for its West wank policy, for "unnecessary col- lective punishment against the Golan Druze," for wor- sening relations with the U.S. and for using Ameri- can loan money to buy votes.
