Peres Leads Israeli Withdrawal in Lebanon Victory
Israel's government approves a staged withdrawal over five weeks, a political win for Prime Minister Shimon Peres. He cobbles support from Likud rivals to push the plan despite risks of continued military involvement and opposition from Yitzhak Shamir. The move hopes to secure borders without a permanent Lebanese presence, amid fears of guerrilla resurgence.

Peres gains from a war-weary public, with polls showing 42 percent support versus Shamir's 11 percent in November, aided by his Cabinet win.
