Post's J'lem story may topple gov't
Source: Jpost
11 February 2008 – Shas chairman Eli Yishai indicated on Monday that his party's days in the government were numbered, due to The Jerusalem Post's story that the Palestinian and Israeli negotiating teams were conducting secret talks on the future of Jerusalem.
Yishai told reporters who attended his faction's weekly meeting that he would speak about the story in Sunday's paper with Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni.
He had not spoken to either one by press time and the Olmert associates he did reach downplayed the report.
"I will check the story and if it's true, Shas will leave the government," Yishai told the Post. Yishai also issued a new threat that any diplomatic progress on any issue while Kassams fall on Sderot could lead to the party's departure from the coalition. Yishai escalated his warning beyond previous threats, which focused solely on Jerusalem.
But Yishai's threat to leave over the Post story was seen as more serious, because it applied to negotiations that have already taken place, while the new threat deals with potential future talks.
Yishai wrote a letter
to Cabinet Secretary Ovad Yehezkel requesting that all decisions
about what Israel should negotiate be made in the forum of seven
ministers that met regularly during the Second Lebanon War. He
postponed a visit to Jerusalem's controversial Har Homa neighborhood
until Thursday, when he will be joined by MKs from the right wing
National Union-National Religious Party.
Comments:
If the Sha’s party leaves the coalition then the ruling government
under Olmert will fall. It was less than a month ago that
Avigdor
Lieberman, the Minister for Strategic Affairs and the head of the
right-wing Yisrael Beiteinu Party left the government because Olmert
was
conducting secret talks on the future of Jerusalem. Shas has said
that it will leave the government if the division of Jerusalem – a
bedrock requirement of the Palestinian President, Mahmoud Abbas – is
on the table. If the latest report in Sunday’s article is true then
not only will the government fail but the peace talks will also be
over and the PA will blame Israel for its failure. (Read Article)
PA official reports progress over Jerusalem in secret talks.
The government now depends on Shas and its 11 MKs for its very
existence; without them, the coalition would number only three
parties - Kadima, Labor and the Pensioners - and a total of 55
Knesset Members, or less than a majority of the Knesset. We will
have to see what happens in the coming days.
