From Times Staff and Wire Reports
Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin’s 16-week-old government defeated four no-confidence motions, ensuring continued support for its peace policies.

In the end, Shas settled for an apology from Aloni, more influence in secular schools and a promise of restrictions on importing non-kosher meat.
