Thursday, Dec. 1, 1988 Santa Cruz Sentinel A-11 Peres' party bars talks on coalition World digest From SantJnal wlra aarvlcaa leader of younger party members. "We are not going to be the vassals and servants of the Likud." In the Nov. 1 elections for the 120-member Parliament, Shamir's Likud won 40 seats to Labor's 39. This gave four religious parties with their 18 seats a controlling swing vote in forming a narrow coalition.

Likud's offer of a joint government with Labor came after Shamir's talks with the Jewish fundamentalist parties bogged down in their demands for Cabinet posts and their call for controversial religious legislation opposed by American Jews. entering into negotiations with the Likud, a party spokeswoman said. Both Peres and Rabin left immediately after the vote but other Laborltes received the results with loud applause, kissing and hugging each other and shouting: "We did it, we did it!" Israel radio said. The radio described the vote as a "revolutionary situation" in which an younger-generation opposition voted against the old party leadership of Peres and Rabin who "got their faces slapped." "The voice of the younger generation cannot be ignored. We are the party," said Avraham Burg, a TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) The ruling body of the left-leaning Labor Party rejected Wednesday a bid by the party's leaders to talk with the rival, right-wing Likud bloc on forming a coalition government.

Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir, leader of the Likud, vowed to create a narrow-based government this week. He said in a statement: "I'm sorry that we have lost an opportunity to form a broad government as was the wish of the majority of the people. Within the next few days I will present to the Knesset (parliament) a government that will serve well the people and the country." Shamir now must try to construct a coalition Cabinet with the far-right and ultra-Orthodox parties. The Labor revolt also raises the possibility of changes in the party leadership. The 61-57 vote by Labor's executive bureau came in defiance of party leaders Shimon Peres, the foreign minister, and Yitzhak Rabin, the defense minister.
