"There will be no Europe
without these values," she
added.
Ms. Lalumiere said she
had met with the leaders of
the AJCommittee during a
visit to Washington several
months ago.
"I was struck by the
amount of things we had in
common," she said. "I felt
within the AJCommittee the
urge to act, with efficiency
and strength. It was for us a
boost, a breath of fresh air.
Our cooperation came
through and this seminar is
here to prove it."
In an interview, Mr. Moses
explained why AJCom-
mittee chose to work with
the Council of Europe to
organize the conference.
"The Council of Europe is

the right body to deal with if
you want to act against in-
tolerance in Europe. We
fight against anti-Semitism,
but our agenda has to be
broader if we want to be
effective. What we intend to
do through this seminar is
raise consciousness.
"We have here the leading
figures in Europe on the sub-
ject of xenophobia and in-
tolerance. What we hope will
emerge is a closer coopera-
tion between the human
rights community h _ ere and
the AJC.
"This Strasbourg seminar
is not a one-shot deal. One
shot doesn't. accomplish
anything. The secret here is
to be constantly involved.
That means ongoing dedica-
tion," said Mr. Moses. ❑

Shas Will Rejoin
The Rabin Coalition

Jerusalem (JTA) — The
fervently religious Shas Par-
ty has agreed to rejoin Prime
Minister Yitzhak Rabin's
governing coalition immedi
ately.
An understanding to this
effect was reached during a
late- night meeting in
Jerusalem between Prime
Minister Yitzhak Rabin and
the spiritual leader of Shas,
Rabbi Ovadia Yosef.
Shas left the coalition last
fall, when its political
leader, former Interior Min-
ister Aryeh Deri, was in-
dicted on charges of bribery,
fraud and breach of public
trust.
On another coalition front,
Mr. Rabin and his left-wing

Shas left the
coalition when
Aryeh Deri was
indicated last fall.

coalition partner Meretz
locked horns over Mr.
Rabin's desire to bring
Rafael Eitan's right-wing
Tsomet Party into the
government.
Meretz's four ministers
told Mr. Rabin over the
weekend that they would
resign if he began negotia-
ting with Mr. Eitan.
Mr. Rabin, infuriated,
shouted at Meretz leader
Shulamit Aloni, the min-
ister of communications,
that he would negotiate
despite her threats.

But political pundits were
predicting that the prime
minister would have to back
off because many within his
own party are not prepared
to see Meretz secede from
the coalition.
Political observers said
that Mr. Rabin and Mr.
Eitan have been negotiating
for months, but that recent
events have given added
impetus to their talks. The
most important factor, they
say, is that Rabin fears a
wave of revenge attacks
following the Feb. 25 killing
of more than 40 Palestinians
at a Hebron mosque, and
that he wants to bolster his
Cabinet ahead of time.
Meretz leaders said Mr.
Rabin can take comfort from
the fact that his "flirtation"
with Mr. Eitan hastened
'Shas' return to the coalition.
It is not known whether
Shas will rejoin before Mr.
Rabin's coming visit to the
•United States, scheduled for
next week.
Mr. Yosef and Mr. Deri
were said to be resolving the
question of who will repre-
sent their party at the
Cabinet table. Mr. Deri is
barred from doing so because
he is facing criminal pro-
ceedings.
Observers expected Shas
Knesset member Rabbi
Moshe Maya to take over the
Religious Affairs Ministry,
with a battle between
Knesset members Yosef
Azran and Shlomo Benizri
over the Interior Ministry.
Mr. Rabin is currently
holding those portfolios. ❑
