The government of Premier
'- Menachem Begin took the
oath of, office early June 21
after nine hours of angry,"
often bitterldebate in ' the
Knesset which emphasized
the sharp .cleavage between
the new-regime ancfits par¬
liamentary opposition.
" Begin won the VQte of con¬
fidence he bad asked for in
.his inaugural speech-to the
Knesset as Premier. But his
. ^63-53  margin was^ strictly
~along party lines,
Voting -for the government
were Likud, the National-
Religious Party (NRP) and
Aguda-,-bloc, Moshe Dayan
and • Samuel Flatto-Sharon.
Negative votes were cast by
the Labor' Alignment, -Jhe
Democratic Movement .for
Change ,(DMC),"the .Sheli'

coalition partners- -"many
, demands which.have many
grave implications" for our
national life, Peres declared.
He accused Begin of handing
over to his religious partners
conduct of" State affairs,
"according to their par¬
ticular version of a rabbinic
outlook."
Referring   to   the   more
