Peretz Threatens To Topple Government This Week
Excerpts;
“… if Prime Minister Ariel Sharon does not agree to meet with him in the next three days, Labor might topple the government immediately, forcing news elections.”
“‘Sharon acted irresponsibly by postponing to this Thursday the meeting with me, but the age of marathons has ended. I know these political exercises and I intend to play my cards close to the chest. If Sharon does not meet with me at the beginning of the week, we might work to bring down the government on Wednesday,’ when the Knesset is scheduled to vote on four no-confidence motions.”
In a different article, “Peretz added that Peres indicated he would support the party’s leaving the coalition government.”
