The consultations, to de- termine which party has the best chance of forming a government, are this year a formality: Final election returns announced last week show that Labor's Yitzhak Rabin and the parties to his left have a decisive bloc of 61 seats. That is enough to head off any right-wing coalition in the 120- member parlia- ment. The modified results reflect the counting of the soldiers' vote. They give Labor 44 seats, down one from the earlier estimates. Shas also lost a seat, by a mere 36 votes, bringing it down to six. The beneficiaries were Moledet and Tsomet, which each gained a seat, for a total of 3 and 8 respectively. Mr. Herzog's meetings will continue, and he is expected to formally summon Mr. Rabin. Mr. Rabin will then have three weeks to assem- ble a coalition, with the pos- sibility of an extension. But the chairman of Labor's parliamentary fac- tion, Haim Ramon, said that the party hopes to present its coalition when the 13th Knesset convenes for its first session on July 13. "All our prospective part- ners should take this into account," Mr. Ramon warn- ed. He added that if the co- alition was not as broad as Labor hoped, Mr. Rabin would present a narrower one. His remarks were part of the public posturing being played out as counterpoint to the political bargaining now under way behind closed doors. Adding to the stakes in this year's coalition poker, and to uncertainty among political pundits, is that Mr. Rabin can in theory form a coalition in any of several ways. In a move designed to set one prospective coalition member at ease, Labor Sec- retary-General Micha Harish told reporters that the Meretz bloc was expected to be Labor's natural part- ner. Rumors had been cir- culating that the left-wing, anti- religious Meretz might be sidestepped to enable Labor to join with the Or- thodox haredi parties, the right-wing and anti- re- ligious Tsomet party, and even the right-wing Nation- al Religious Party. Meanwhile, the Council of Sages of the haredi Shas party formally empowered the party's Knesset mem- bers to enter into negotia- tions, thereby following the initial, hesitant step already taken by the Council of Sages of the Agudat Yisrael faction of the United Torah Judaism party. Rabbi Eliezer Schach, the 96-year-old spiritual head of the shrunken aegel HaTorah faction of United Torah Judaism, still re- portedly harbors hopes of a Labor-haredi-rightist coali- tion, excluding the "anti- Torah" Meretz party. Rabbi Schach's influence has been greatly weakened as a result of the election, however. Three Israelis Killed In Gaza Jerusalem (JTA) — Two Israelis were brutally murdered by Arab assailants in the Gaza Strip and an Israeli soldier was killed in a gun battle in the West Bank that left three Palestinians dead. The bloodshed, the worst in weeks, interrupted the formation of a new govern- ment in the aftermath of the Knesset elections. Yitzhak Rabin broke off coalition talks to warn ter- rorists that his regime would crack down "with all possi- ble force" on inciters and killers. The civilian victims were identified as Moshe Bino, 49, of Ashkelon and Ami Salzman, 59, from Ness Ziona, co-managers of the Al Kuba meat-packing plant in the Gaza Strip. They were mortally wounded by four intruders who arrived by car and, pretending to be buyers, gained entry to the plant. Once inside they repeatedly stabbed their victims in the chest and back and fled. An army doctor summoned to the scene tried vainly to save them but both men died shortly after being attacked. They brought to three the number of Israeli civilians stabbed to death by Arabs in the Gaza Strip since May 27.
