Likud Still Angry Over Herzog's Election
By MOSHE RON
The Jewish News Special
Israel Correspondent
TEL AVIV — The sixth
President of Israel, Chaim
Herzog, will assume Israel's
highest office on May 5 after
President Yitzhak Navon
completes his term of office.
Herzog's election in a
secret ballot in the Knesset
came as a surprise, since
everyone was sure that the
candidate of the Likud coal-
ition, Prof. Menahem Eilon,
supported by Premier Be-
gin, would be elected. All
coalition party members
had solemnly vowed to vote
for Prof. - Eilon.
The Labor Alignment fac-
tion had made every effort
to convince members of the
Likud coalition to cast their
votes for Herzog. It was
known that the father-in-
law of Herzog's son was the
president of the World Fed-
eration of Sephardi Jews,
the well-known philan-
thropist from Geneva Nis-
sim Gaon, who has great
influence on the Sephardi
Tami Faction.
Herzog also has close
business connections
with London philan-
thropist Sir Isaac
Wolfson, who has great
influence in the Mafdal
(National Religious
Party). There were
rumors about connec-
tions between the Mafdal
and Labor Alignment in
the elections of the new
Chief Rabbis, which
could also have had some
influence in the elections
of the new President of
Israel.
When the election result
was announced in the Knes-
set, there was an uproar in
the Likud coalition. Shouts
were heard: "There are liars
and cheaters among us. Let
us dissolve the coalition."
Liberal Minister Av-
raham Sharir proposed to
change the law and to elect
the President in an open
vote. Some Likud members
demanded new Knesset
elections. Others main-
tained that measures
should be adopted to reveal
the "deserters."
Premier Begin felt de-
' jected because his candi-
date, Prof. Eilon, received
57 votes to Herzog's 61. But
Begin remarked that this is
democracy and he congratu-
lated Herzog on being
elected.
Roni Milo, the leader of
the Knesset Herut fac:
tion, had vowed before
the elections that he
would resign_ from. his
office and donate one mil-
lion shekels to the Israel
Defense Fund if Eilon
was not elected. He did
not keep his promise.
Milo, chief editor of the
Likud weekly "Yoman
Hashavua," had to change
the cover of his magazine,
which had prepared a por-
trait of Eilon.
Some Likud members
said that the police should
be involved in looking for
the coalition deserters.
Others said the matter
should be forgotten as
quickly as possible.
The election of Chaim
Herzog was greeted with
satisfaction by the majority
of the population in Israel.
Deputy Prime Minister
Simha Ehrlich congratu-
lated and embraced Herzog.
Other Likud members of the
Knesset blessed the
President-Elect.
However, Interior
Minister Dr: Yosef Burg
said; "We have among us
seven traitors." Begin
admonished him not to
use such words.
Prof. Eilon phoned Her-
zog and wished him success
in his high office. Herzog
replied that it has been for
him a special honor to com-
pete with him far the office.
U.S. Is Lauded
HERZLIYA • (ZINS) —
Deputy Prime Minister-
Simha Ehrlich has taken
issue with former Defense
Minister Ariel Sharon, who
claimed the U.S. is blocking
an agreement between Is-
rael and Lebanon.
Erlich said that anyone
who makes that claim
"doesn't know what he is
talking about."
