Israel's Parliament approved Premier Moshe Sharett's three party coalition by a 106 to 32 vote. The cabinet, excluding the General Zionist party, includes 12 ministers from the old admin and nine from Sharett's Mapai Labor, plus Liberal Progressive and Religious Orthodox Workers' representatives. The government won two confidence votes despite abstentions from General Zionists, pledging collective responsibility.
