Peres, chairman of the Labor Party, emerged Aug. 12 as the unchallenged leader of the party following criticism of him in a book by former Premier Yitzhak Rabin. During a four-hour meeting of the Labor Party Bureau, Rabin was lambasted by Party leaders for charging in his autobiography that when Peres was Defense Minister in the Rabin government he sought to undermine Rabin's leadership by. lying and leaking government secrets. How; ever, the party decided not to adopt a resolution rebuking Rabin as some had sought. Peres said there was no need for such a resolution, "Having heard what all members have said, I feel they have confidence In me," he said. The only Labor Party leader to defend Rabin was'former Foreign Minister Yigal Allon.
