insistent loyalty to Shas as
another attempt by the am-
bitious former Defense Minis-
ter to weaken Shamir, with a
view toward ultimately win-
ning the leadership of Herut.
This view was given credence
following opposition by Sha-
ron and Deputy Premier
David Levy to Shamir's
recommended slate of Herut
ministers in the unity gov-
ernment during a stormy
meeting of the Herut Central
Committee.
Sharon's opposition to the
slate, which was approved
nevertheless, was sparked by
the fact that Shamir failed to
restore Herut secretariat
chairman Yoram. Sharon, in-
censed over this decision,
mounted the rostrum to urge a
secret vote in the name of
democracy. He demanded that
all Herut ministers, except
Shamir, should be accepted by
secret ballot.
Sharon was supported by
Levy, but opposed by Shamir,
Defense Minister Moshe
Arens and MK Ronnie Milo.
Sharon's challenge, boosted by
Levy, was seen as a direct —
unexpected — challenge to
Shamir's authority.
In his television appearance
later, Sharon insisted, as he
had at the Herut Central
Committee meeting, that if
the outstanding issues be-
tween Likud and Labor were
not resolved to Likud's satis-
faction, the presentation of the
unity government to the
Knesset for approval should be -
postponed for a few days, even
into next week.
Sharon insisted that several
settlements in central
Samaria decided on by the
outgoing government must be
endorsed by the incoming
unity government and built
during the coming year, not
like Shimon Peres says." This
latter reference was appar-
ently to Peres' recent public
assertions that the building of
future settlements would be
curtailed.
The suggestion by Sharon
that a unity government could
be postponed or a few days jar-
red Laborites, since Peres' sec-
ond 21-day mandate to form a
government ends Sunday.
Should he fail by then,
President Chaim Herzog could
assign the task to someone
else. However, Labor is de-
termined to prevent this.
Unlike at earlier stages of
the six-week negotiations,
Labor finds itself holding the
crucial and pivotal support of
the NRP. The NRP leaders
said they would not counte-
nance a postponement into
next week, and would give
their votes to a Labor govern-
if necessary. "We still
want unity," an NRP leader
said, But we see the religious
ministry as vital."
The NRP argues that Shas,
heavily influenced by Aguda
Sage Rabbi Eliezer Schach, is
a non-Zionist party and thus
should not be entrusted with
the Religious Ministry, the
embodiment of religious
Zionism.
Tami leader Aharon Abu-
Hatzeira indicated that if the
NRP swung behind Labor he
might do so too. And in Labor
there were also hope of wooing
the Morasha faction.
That would give Labor 61
seats in the Knesset. But even
just with NRP, Labor would
have a majority since the four
communists and two pro-
gressives would presumably
not vote with Likud against
Labor in the unity vote.
Israeli unemployment on the rise
Jerusalem (JTA) — The
number of unemployed in Israel
increased by about 1,400 between
July and August this year, but the
main problem is not joblessness
but difficulty in matching work-
ers to the kind of jobs they want,
according to Baruch Haklai, di-
rector of the government em-
ployment service.
We find it very difficult to con-
vince people to work in such
branches as construction, metal-
lurgics, agriculture and auto-
mobile mechanics," Haklai said at
a press conference last week. He
said that 2,907 job offers were not
filled last month compared to
1,500 in July. About 3,286 work-
ers rejected job offers in August
compared to 2,907 rejections in
July.
Haklai did not expect sudden
mass unemployment but pre-
dicted a gradual rise in jobless-
ness to about 20,000 by the end of
this year, double the number out
of work at the start of the year.
Haklai said that his service is
unable to fill some 6,000 job offers
a month despite rising unem-
ployment. He said that half the
jobs offered are filled by Arab
workers from the occupied ter-
ritories. About 80,000 Arabs from
the territories presently work in
Israel, of whom 50,000 got their
jobs through the employment
service and the rest through unof-
ficial channels.
Haklai hinted there would be a
crackdown on unorganized labor
in the wake of rising unemploy-
ment but said his service would
not try to throw any workers out
of their jobs. He said unemploy-
ment was most serious in the de-
velopment towns where about 13
percent of the population lives.
According to Haklai, that sector
accounts for 42.8 percent of the
unemployed but it is where many
young men refuse jobs in con-
struction and agriculture.
