Jerusalem (JTA) — Despite
his last-minute deal with
Orthodox voters, the mayor-
elect has vowed to maintain
the status quo of religion in
Jerusalem.
Ehud Olmert, whose vic-
tory ended the 28-year ca-
reer of Teddy Kollek, said
bars, restaurants and
cinemas that are currently
open on Friday nights would
remain open.
New entertainment spots
would be permitted to open if
they did not "disrupt the life
of the neighborhood," he
said.
In a city where tensions
between religious groups
simmer, the opening of
commercial establishments
on the Sabbath has been a
sensitive issue, and there
have been violent confronta-
tions between observant and
secular Jews on occasion.
At a news conference, Mr.
Olmert hastened to make
clear that despite the deal he
orchestrated with the city's
He denied that
there had been a
"sellout."

fervently Orthodox Jews,
which won him that corn-
munity's votes, he would not
give in to Orthodox demands
in a way that would change
city life "one iota."
He denied that there had
been a "sellout," and stress-
ed that he would have won
without the fervently Or-
thodox votes, only with a
slimmer margin.
Meir Porush, a candidate
of the United Torah Judaism
Front, withdrew from the
race after a discussion with
Mr. Olmert. The religious
bloc then swung its support
to Mr. Olmert.
Mr. Olmert, a Likud
Knesset member, unseated
Mr. Kollek by a margin of 59
percent to 35 percent.
Mr. Olmert said the Or-
thodox would become "major
partners" in the city's coali-
tion, describing the start of a
"foundation for cooperation"
for the next five years.
The needs of the religious
must be recognized within
reasonable limits," he said.
"There will be no favors,
and at the same time, no dis-
crimination," the mayor-
elect said.
Mr. Olmert also said he
regretted that Mr. Kollek,
who "played a historic role"
"
in Jerusalem, had been forced
out. ❑
