Resignation of Israeli minister seen
Jerusalem reports suggest Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin may resign late today or Tuesday after purging the National Religious party from his coalition. The move ends his Knesset majority and could trigger a confidence vote, with Rabin aiming to avoid an early election before May to meet President elect Carter after his inauguration. If not forced out, elections appear possible by October.
