Likud Decides
On New Leaders
Jerusalem (JTA) — The
Likud, smarting from its
worst election defeat in 23
years, has decided to
reconstitute its leadership,
and there is no shortage of
candidates for the top post.
Likud ministers in the
outgoing Cabinet decided
the party would hold
primaries by the end of the
year, enabling all registered
members around the country
to participate in the choice of
a leader.
The incumbent, Prime
Minister Yitzhak Shamir,
has indicated he will be leav-
ing the post soon, and al-
ready there are a number of
hopeful successors waiting
eagerly in the wings.
The latest to indicate his
interest in the post was Ben-
jamin Netanyahu, the pop-
ular deputy minister and
former U.N. ambassador,
who announced that he
would run in the primaries.
In a television interview,
Mr. Netanyahu asserted
that Likud supporters had
defected in the elections in
considerable numbers, not
because they disagreed with
the Likud's policies, but be-
cause they were turned off
by the constant internal
struggles within the party
leadership.
"People want clean poli-
tics," Mr. Netanyahu pro-
claimed. "I can lead the par-
ty toward that goal."
Other candidates who
have indicated their inten-
tion to fight for the leader-
ship are Ariel Sharon, David
Levy, Ze'ev "Benny" Begin
and Meir Sheetrit, the Jew- d"
ish Agency treasurer who
will sit as a Likud member of
the new Knesset.
A senior Likud official who
will not be running is
Defense Minister Moshe
Arens, who announced last g"
week that he was quitting
politics.
Mr. Arens surprised polit-
ical circles here over the
weekend by criticizing some
of Likud's key positions on
peace and security, espe-
cially its vision of a "Greater
Israel" and its refusal to
consider giving up the Gaza
Strip.
Mr. Arens also criticized
Mr. Shamir, with whom he
has long been aligned, for
disclosing in a newspaper
interview last week that he -
had intended the autonomy
negotiations with the Pales-
tinians to drag on "for 10
years."
Political observers , o
predicted that Mr. Arens'
remarks would have an im-
pact on the Likud leadership
tussle. They said the party
now faces an existential
decision: Is its raison d'etre
pursuing a narrow' •
ideological agenda aimed at
tightening Israel's hold on.
the territories? Or does it
want to serve a broader
public that cares more about
jobs and housing than West
Bank settlements? The par-
ty's decision to hold
primaries is a tacit
acknowledgment of Labor's
success this year in recon -
necting to an increasingly
disaffected public.

Assembly Ends
Without Resolution
Geneva (JTA) — For the
first time in 25 years, the
International Labor Organ-
ization closed its annual
General Assembly without
adopting an anti-Israel
resolution.
Moreover, its report on the
rights of Arab workers in the
Israeli administered ter-
ritories, while charging
Israel with many violations,
also credited the Israeli civil
administration with pro-
moting economic develop-
ment and providing educa-
tional services.
Those acknowledgements
were cited by Israel's am-
bassador to the United
Nations in Geneva, Yitzhak
Lior. He said the report
submitted this year by ILO

Director-General Michel 4
Hansenne "displays a
greater appreciation of the
realities in the territories
than have previous reports."
Mr. Hansenne said "I am
happy to see the spirit of co-
operation manifested by
Israel regarding our educa-
tional vocational training
amongst Palestinian
workers."
He reiterated the sugges-f-
tion he made last year that
Palestinian trade unions be
recognized and permitted to I
organize freely. "Toward
this objective, the Histadrut 4
and the Palestinian unions
should meet and seek ways...,
in which Palestinian
workers can be protected,"
Mr. Hansenne said.
