FEBRUARY
Jerusalem (JTA) — The fervent-
ly Orthodox Shas Party has an-
nounced that it will not rejoin the
governing coalition of Prime Min-
ister Yitzhak Rabin.
In a letter sent explaining the
decision, the spiritual leader of
Shas, former Sephardi Chief Rab-
bi Ovadia Yosef, cited Israel's de-
teriorating security situation as
the reason Shas would not return
to the Labor-led coalition.
Shas sources said there was
still a possibility they would re-
join the coalition. Shas political
leader and former Interior Min-
ister Aryeh Deri said his party's
move did not mean it would au-
tomatically vote with the opposi-
tion.
Shas left the coalition more
than a year ago when Mr. Deli
was indicted on charges of fraud,
bribery and breach of public trust.
Mr. Deri is currently standing tri-
al on the charges.
Since then, Shas has neither
joined the opposition nor re-
turned to the government fold.
Shas has usually supported
the government in crucial votes,
particularly those relating to the
peace process or when no-confi-
dence motions have been brought
before the Knesset.
Mr. Rabin is expected to reas-
sign the two ministerial portfo-
lios that had previously been held
aside for Shas.
The two portfolios — the Reli-
gious Affairs and Interior
ministries— were expected to go
to ministers who would act as
caretakers, a move that would
leave the door open for future ne-
gotiations between Labor and
Shas.
Shas' decision came hours be-
fore the High Court of Justice
handed down a ruling on a con-
troversial agreement Rabin had
made with Shas last year as part
of the effort to get it to rejoin the
coalition. A special panel of five
justices criticized the agreement,
calling it legal but highly im-
proper. But the court decided not
to intervene in the matter, say-
ing it should be determined in the
political arena, not in the court-
room.
The judges had criticized a
clause in the agreement stating
that if the religious status quo
were violated — by a High Court
ruling, for example — legislation
would be enacted to restore it.
One of Shas'conditions for
rejoining the coalition had been
a guarantee that the status
quo would prevail on religious is-
sues.
The justices said the wording
of the clause made it appear that
the government would, through
the use of legislation, automati-
cally reverse any court rulings af-
fecting religious matters.
