the decision of the Labor Party's
secretary to prepare for the pos-
sibility of new elections should
the government fall over the af-
fair.
There's good reason for their
reserve, as it's not at all clear
who Labor's candidate for prime
minister should be if elections
are held before June 3 (when
Mr. Peres' term as party chair-
man ends). Mr. Peres and Mr.
Barak both know that the last
thing Labor needs now, when
the Likud is on the defensive, is
a bloody internal leadership bat-
tle.
Meanwhile, in Mr. Ne-
tanyahu's government, minis-
ters representing two of his
coalition partners — Avigdor
Kahalani of the Third Way and
Natan Sharansky of Yisrael Ba-
Aliyah — have made far-reach-
ing (though prudently vague)
statements. They say that
should the inquiry reveal shady
dealings, the government does
not deserve to stand.
Knesset member Shaul
Yahalom of the National Reli-
gious Party has recently joined
in that chorus. And it is possi-
ble that Shas could bolt in anger
if it feels that its leader, Aryeh
Deri, i _ s being singled out for
blame.
Within the Likud itself, only
one minister has come out
staunchly in Mr. Netanyahu's
defense. Behind the scenes,
there's already talk of a possi-
ble successor. Attention has fo-
cused on both Finance Minister
Dan Meridor (the Likud's
"Mister Clean" and thus an ap-
pealing alternative should Ne-
tanyahu come out looking
compromised) and Defense Min-
ister Yitzhak Mordechai (who
enjoys great popularity with the
rank and file.
Whether indictments will be
brought should be known with-
in a few weeks. ❑

Shops Reopen
In Hebron

Jerusalem (JTA) — Palestinian
storekeepers began to reopen
shops in an Arab market in
downtown Hebron for the first
time in three years.
Israel's opening of the mar-
ket, which is adjacent to the
Avraham Avinu settler complex,
honors the recent agreements
made with the Palestinians.
Most of the West Bank town
was transferred to Palestinian
self-rule as a result of the ac-
cords.
The market had been shut
down in 1994, after a Jewish
settler killed 29 Palestinian wor-
shipers in the Tomb of the Pa-
triarchs.
Hebron has a population of
about 130,000 Palestinians and
500 Jews.
