Yitzhak Rabin Faces
New Coalition Crisis
Jerusalem (JTA) — The
controversy over Education
Minister Shulamit Aloni,
whose secular perspective
raises the hackles of the re-
ligious parties, has escalated
into the first full-fledged co-
alition crisis of Yitzhak
Rabin's new government.
The prime minister met
with Ms. Aloni in Tel Aviv
as the Shas party warned it
would pull out of the
government if she remained
in the education post.
The fervently Orthodox
Sephardic party is threaten-
ing to vote against the
government in no-confidence
motions on the Aloni issue,
submitted to the Knesset by
opposition religious.
Ms. Aloni's colleagues at
the helm of left-wing Meretz
bloc said they would rather
quit the government than
allow their leader to be com-
promised by being forced out
of her post.
In an effort to ease the
crisis and shore up his
majority, Mr. Rabin was in-
volved in intensive contacts
with two parties on the
right, seeking to woo one or
both of them into the
government.
To Rafael Eitan, leader of
the right-wing Tsomet, the
prime minister sent a
written proposal on the basis
of which he hopes to resume
negotiations broken off
when the government coali-
tion of Labor, Meretz and
Shas was sworn in mid-July.
According to officials in
the Prime Minister's Office,
the paper represents no new
development in the
premier's policy thinking.
But they would neither-
confirm nor deny media
reports that Mr. Rabin had
expressed willingness to
hold a referendum before
any territorial deal on the
Golan Heights. Tsomet op-
poses territorial concessions.
According to media
speculation, Mr. Eitan is be-
ing offered the Police Min-
istry, currently headed by
Communications Minister
Moshe Shahal of Labor, and
an economic ministry —
possibly the Ministry of
Labor and Welfare, current-
ly held by the premier
himself in anticipation of co-
alition changes.
The prior "tenant" at
Labor and Welfare was
Agudat Yisrael, now part of
the United Torah Judaism
party. Mr. Rabin would
presumably be happy to see
a United Torah man return
to this post. A meeting bet-
ween the premier and the
party's Knesset members
last week was inconclusive,
with both sides insisting it
had not focused on coalition
politics.
An obstacle to United
Torah joining the coalition is
the presence of Ms. Aloni at
Education. Sources in the
haredi community say the
rabbis of the Agudah Coun-
cil of Sages would not con-
template entering the
government unless Aloni
were shifted out of that slot,
and perhaps not even then.
And the leader of United
Torah's other component,
Degel HaTorah sage Rabbi
Eliezer Shach, is said to be
opposed to joining the pre-
sent government on any
terms as long as Meretz is a
part of it.
Observers question,
however, whether Shach can
call the shots in United
Torah, given that only one of
They would

being forced out
of her post.
its four Knesset members,
Avraham Ravitz, is a Degel
man. The other three are
Agudah politicians.
Meanwhile, the key figure
around whom the crisis
swirls is Shas' spiritual
leader, Rabbi Ovadia Yosef.
Rabbi Yosef is scheduled to
chair a session of the Shas
Council of Sages after the
Sukkot holiday ends, at
which the party's final posi-
tion regarding the coalition
and the upcoming confidence
votes will be determined.
The motions of no con-
fidence, submitted by the
National Religious Party
and United Torah Judaism,
are to be heard when the
parliamentary winter term
starts at the end of the mon-
th. They criticize controver-
sial statements by Aloni on
religious issues.
