Title A MAN ALONE WITH HIS THOUGHTS.
Scope and content It was a day of tension, when the special meeting of the Knesset was called to approve a new government to be led by the Labour leader, Shimon Peres, Likud party members looked grim as it "as almost certain that the Labour fact¬ion would receive the necessary vote to give Peres the premiership he so desired, Perhaps the defection of two ultra-religious party members away from the Labour at the last minute gave Yitzhhak Shamir a new ray of hope that he might be able to farm a new government after all, This defection meant that Peres would ask the speaker to delay the vote and Peres would ask - and get - the President to give him a fifteen day extension to try once again to get a majority together, So the political soap opera goes on and although Shamir for the moment remains the caretaker Prime Minister the future of the both Shamir and Peres is in the balance as well as the parties they head, After the Pesach holidays pressure will undoubtably be put on Peres to hand over the leadership of the Labour party to somebody else, probably Yitzhak Rabin, Although the religious parties had been criticized for opportunism, they had made it quite clear to Peres that if he made his majority from Arab and Communists members of Knesset they would not give him the support they had promised, There was no chance that a Peres government could have been made up without the support of such members
