T

he fratricidal civil war rack-
ing the Likud got even hotter
this week. Moshe Arens, tl-i.:- \
man who brought Binyamin
Netanyahu into politics, announced
that he would run against his protege
for the party leadership. The reason: to
save the Likud from falling apart before
the May 17 national elections.
"I watched with fear what has hap-
pened to the
Likud in
recent
weeks. Top-
rate people
have left or
considered
leaving,
which could
make it
Moshe Arens
more diffi-
cult to win,"
the 73-year-old former foreign and
defense minister said at a news confer-
ence on Monday. Many people, he
added, had urged him to run because
only he could lead the Likud to victory.
Although he retired from active poli-
tics after the party's 1992 election defeat,
Arens believed his chances were greater
than those of either his old protege or =,
Uzi Landau, who also is challenging
Netanyahu in next week's Likud primary.
Arens' links with Netanyahu's family
go back to the 1940s, when he assisted
the prime minister's father, Benzion, in
running the right-wing Revisionist
Zionist movement in the United States.
Seventeen years ago, as Israel's
Washington ambassador, Arens tappedZ\
Binyamin Netanyahu, then marketing
director of the Rim furniture company,
to serve as his No. 2. Netanyahu later
served as ambassador to the United
Nations, returning home in 1988 to
run for the Knesset. In 1992, Arens
enthusiastically sponsored Netanyahu's
campaign to succeed Yitzhak Shamir as
party leader and candidate for the pre-,._/
miership.
On Monday, Arens acknowledged
that their relations "were in many ways
like those of father to son." But, he
added: "That doesn't change the situa-
tion the Likud is in now." Fl
