Israel continues elections amid turmo
JERUSALEM (AP) — A
reluctant Ariel Sharon on
Tuesday called early elections
for Jan. 28 after the breakup of
his fractious coalition, sending
Israel into a tempestuous cam
paign that threatens further
instability in the Mideast at a
time of a possible confronta
tion with Iraq.
The surprise move also
brought Sharon’s archrival for
Likud leadership, Benjamin
Netanyahu, back into govern
ment as temporary foreign min
ister. Netanyahu, who calls for
the expulsion of Palestinian
leader Yasser Arafat, said he will
challenge Sharon for the party
leadership in a primary to be
held within weeks.
The winner of that struggle
will face the Labor Party leader
in the general election. One of
the issues on the table then will
be how to approach the
Palestinians, whether to empha
size negotiation or war and
whether to expel Arafat.
The dramatic developments
underscored the growing polit
ical volatility in Israel, which
has had five prime ministers in
seven years. Sharon’s coalition
lasted only 20 months, despite
his aim to hang on until next
October, the originally sched
uled election date.
Sharon flip-flopped over 24
hours, saying Monday it would
be irresponsible to hold early
elections, and announcing
Tuesday he was dissolving par
liament because he was
unable to set up a stable coali
tion after the departure of the
moderate Labor Party.
Sharon accused Labor of
“political caprice” by bolting
over Sharon’s refusal to cut
funding to Jewish settlements in
the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
Palestinian reaction was
muted. “We hope the Israeli
people will elect a government
that can deliver peace,” said
Cabinet minister Saeb Ereket.
The elections could well be
influenced by the Palestinian
militant groups Hamas and
Islamic Jihad, which boasted
Tuesday their bombing and
shooting attacks on Israelis led
to Sharon’s downfall.
In the past, suicide bomb
ing campaigns by Palestinian
militants strenghtened Israel’s
hawkish right. Both Hamas
and Islamic Jihad vowed to
continue such attacks dur
ing the race.
"Sharon’s failure is one of
the achievements of the upris
ing,” said Ismail Abu Shanab, a
Hamas leader in the Gaza Strip.
On Monday, an Islamic
Jihad bomber killed himself
and two Israelis in a shopping
mall in central Israel — and
Hamas said there would be more
attacks during the election campaign.
The violence has pushed
Sharon calls for new Israeli elections
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon dissolved the Israeli parliament
Tuesday and set new elections for Jan. 28. His first challengefo,
re-election will be for leadership of the right-wing Likud party,,
an upcoming primary. His chief opponent, former Prime Minis":-
Benjamin Netanyahu, has accepted the foreign minister’s positoi
in the transition government.

Vatican drafts new guidelines for priests
VATICAN CITY (AP) — The Vatican
said Tuesday it is drafting new guidelines
for accepting candidates for the priesthood
that will address the question of whether
gays should be barred.
The brief statement by the Vatican's
Press Office gave no indication what the
conclusion may be despite news reports
that the document will include directives
against the admission of homosexuals.
Vatican congregations have been study
ing the issue for several years? huf the ques
tion has received renewed attention given
the clerical sex abuse scandal in the United
States.
Most of the victims of molestation by
priests have been adolescent boys.
Experts on sex offenders say there is no
credible evidence that homosexuals are
more likely than heterosexuals to abuse
children, but several church leaders have
argued that gay clergy are to blame for the
scandal.
That suggestion was criticized by
Charlie Spiegel, executive director of Our
Family Coalition, a homosexual rights
group in San Francisco.
“Policies like this have been shown
to produce hate and violence, not the
Policies like this have been

standing,” Spiegel said.
The Vatican Press Office said the
Congregation for Catholic Education has
begun drafting the document, but no publi
cation date has been set. It will not be pub
lished at least until next year, the office
said.
A Vatican official, requesting anonymi
ty, said the question of admitting homosex
uals and other issues will be addressed in a
letter to seminaries.
The Press Office issued the statement
after the Rome newspaper La
published an article Tuesday saying anina
draft had concluded seminaries should®
men with “homosexual tendencies e
that Vatican officials were rushing tocotj
pletc the document because ol theU
scandal.
The Catholic News Service of:]
United States reported last month ilia
