Jerusalem (JTA) — In a widely
anticipated move, Likud Knesset
member and former Foreign Min-
ister David Levy has announced
that he was founding a new po-
litical movement and would run
for prime minister in the coun-
try's 1996 elections.
But he stopped short of de-
claring the formation of a new po-
litical party.
In a meeting with Moshe Kat-
say, the leader of the Likud fac-
tion, Mr. Levy stressed that he
still belonged to the party's par-
liamentary faction and would
vote with it.
Mr. Katsav said he was glad
that Levy wanted to remain in
the Likud opposition, but added
that he would have to check the
legal implications of Mr. Levy's
decision to form a new move-
ment.
At a rally of some 4,000 sup-
porters in Givatayim, Mr. Levy
announced that he was setting
up a "new political framework, a
new movement that would orga-
nize into a party."
The 57-year-old Mr. Levy, who
draws strong support at the mu-
nicipal level, particularly in de-
velopment towns in the Galilee
and Negev, said the new move-
ment would focus on social and
economic issues.
He also lashed out at the Ra-
bin government for what he
called its "so-called peace policy."
He placed himself in the polit-
ical center, saying he would "not
be dragged to extremes which im-
peril national unity."
Mr. Levy's move was expected
after he sharply attacked elec-
toral procedures that were pro-
posed by Likud leader and Levy
archrival Benjamin Netanyahu.
Mr. Levy said the proposals,
which were adopted earlier this
month, were biased against his
supporters.
Although Mr. Levy's new
movement is expected to siphon
off support from Likud, it is un-
clear how Mr. Levy's decision
would play out in the country's
national elections in November
1996.
Political observers believe that
a Levy candidacy could improve
Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin's
chances in the elections by split-
ting the right-wing vote.
Israel Court Allows
Surrogate Motherhood
Jerusalem (JTA) — Israeli cou-
ples with fertility problems may
soon be able to engage a surro-
gate mother to give birth to their
children.
The High Court of Justice can-
celed Health Ministry regulations
prohibiting surrogate mother-
hood.
The ruling came in response to
a petition by 26 childless couples.
They had argued that the Health
Ministry's position had been
adopted without proper authori-
ty.
In 1987, after the much-publi-
cized "Baby M" case in the Unit-
ed States, the Health Ministry
decided to forbid surrogate moth-
erhood in Israel.
In that case, a surrogate moth-
er attempted, unsuccessfully, to
win custody of the child she bore
for an American couple.
The Israeli court's ruling will
take effect Jan. 1.
In the meantime, the Health
Ministry will draft a law provid-
ing guidelines for surrogate moth-_
erhood.
Experts estimate that tens of
thousands of Israeli couples suf-
fer from infertility.
Although many benefit from
fertility drugs and other conven-
tional fertility treatments, others
have no chance of having chil-
dren. Their only options are adop-
tion or surrogate motherhood.
According to the Jerusalem Post,
the proposed law is expected to
ban married women, relatives of
the biological mother and non-Is-
raelis from serving as surrogate
mothers.
The childless couples said they
were thrilled by the ruling, but
reaction in other spheres has
been mixed.
"We very much support this
decision," said Cannel Eitan,
spokeswoman of the Na'amat
women's organization. "We feel
that the problem faced by infer-
tile couples is on the verge of be-
ing resolved."
Referring to another recent
government decision to allow
nonprofit organizations to assist
in adoptions, Ms. Eitan said,
"This ruling, together with the
government's decision two weeks
ago to end the state's monopoly
on adoption, will open a whole
new spectrum of possibilities for
couples to become parents."
While acknowledging the ob-
stacles faced by infertile couples,
the Israel Women's Network said
it opposes the ruling.
