Rabin Meets
To Avert Crisis
Jerusalem (JTA) — In an
effort to avert a major polit-
ical crisis, Prime Minister
Yitzhak Rabin has been
holding intensive meetings
with leaders of his two coali-
tion partners, which are
engaged in a bitter feud with
one another.
The Orthodox Sephardic
Shas party has threatened to
quit the government if
Shulamit Aloni, leader of
the left-wing Meretz bloc, is
not removed from her post as
education minister.
Shas believes Ms. Aloni's
many controversial
statements have demon-
strated a demeaning and in-
sulting attitude toward re-
ligion and Judaism, and
should be cause enough for
her dismissal.
Mr. Rabin met with Ms.
Aloni and was scheduled to
meet later that night with
the head of the Shas party,
Interior Minister Aryeh
Deri. He had plans to meet
again with Ms Aloni.
Mr. Rabin's fragile coali-
tion has been dogged by
crises throughout its tenure,
most of them focusing on Ms.
Aloni's controversial ut-
terances and Shas' objec-
tions to them.
In the past, Mr. Rabin has
managed to smooth over the
problems, but the current
crisis appeared to gather
sudden and unexpected
momentum this week when
sources inside the Labor
Party began to feel that
"this time it's for real."
"It's no mere tactical
ploy," Labor Knesset mem-
ber Haggai Merom said.
Mr. Merom said the
government's ability to con-
duct the ongoing peace
negotiations with Palestin-
ians and Arabs is more im-
portant than what portfolio
Aloni holds.
Mr. Rabin himself ex-
pressed exasperation that a
party so dedicated to
pushing forward the peace
process would jeopardize it
by insisting on certain polit-
ical appointments.
The present crisis was
triggered when Ms. Aloni
criticized Mr. Rabin for
reciting the "Shema
Yisrael" prayer at an an-
niversary commemoration
last month for the Warsaw
Ghetto Uprising. Ms. Aloni
criticized the recitation for
being fatalistic.
Shas' insistent demand
that Ms. Aloni be removed
from her post is also a pro-
duct of pressure exerted on it
by rival Orthodox parties.
