in a hurry. Not only does he
have just six more months as
the official leader of Labor, but
he warns that a continued dete-
rioration in the country's inter-
national standing would be
"irreparable."
But many younger Israelis,
including those on the left, have
become as critical of this "gevalt
syndrome" as they are prone
to it. Indeed, Mr. Peres has
brought upon himself unflat-
tering comparisons with other
Labor leaders who fell into sim-
ilar stances in the twilight of
their careers.
Political analyst Nachum
Barnea points out that after
leaving the government in 1964,
David Ben-Gurion, at the ripe
age of 78, "was convinced that
the state was on the brink of de-
struction and that only he could
save it" — a posture that sore-
ly embarrassed his followers, in-
cluding Shimon Peres.
Other Laborites see a paral-
lel with Moshe Dayan. After the
Yom Kippur War, he desired "to
wipe out the stain" of his failure
and crossed the lines in 1977
and joined Begin's government.
"Except that in contrast to
Dayan, he's trying to drag an en-
tire party with him," Mr. Barnea
quotes one Laborite.
In joining a national unity
government, Labor's chief also
would neutralize the right wing
in Mr. Netanyahu's present
coalition.
But not everyone in the Labor
Party subscribes to that sce-
nario. Ehud Barak, for one —
Mr. Peres' most likely successor
— believes that the opposite will
happen: by bringing Labor into
his government, but exercising
the broader powers granted him
by the new election law, Mr. Ne-
tanyahu could neutralize la-
bor's internal influence and
certainly its oppositional sting.
Mr. Barak is far from the only
leading Laborite to oppose Mr.
Peres' thinking. "Rather than
fulfill our role in opposition," ar-
gued Uzi Baram, another con-
tender for the party's top post,
"we're seeking avenues into the
government we so strongly op-
pose."
Far more intriguing is the
support for a national unity gov-
ernment within the Likud. The
idea is welcomed by Finance
Minister Dan Meridor, Tourism
Minister Moshe Katzav, and Na-
tional Infrastructure Minister
Ariel Sharon — all veterans who
have received short shrift at the
hands of Mr. Netanyahu.
Beyond calculating the per-
sonal political benefits, the pro-
ponents of a new government
lineup may be influenced by the
grim public mood. The Gallup
poll published in the Ma'ariv
newspaper last weekend shows
that a majority of Israelis (51
percent) favor a national unity
government. What's more, 68
