The La Am movement, a faction within Likud, held a meeting at Kadum in Samaria Wednesday in a demonstration of support for the Gush Emunim squatters. They demanded the immediate resignation of the Rabin government, dissolution of the Knesset and new elections for a “responsible national leadership” centered on Likud. La Am is composed of the Free Center, the State List and the Greater Israel Movement. The other, and much larger constituents of Likud, are Herut and the Liberal Party. Yigal Horowitz and Eliezer Shostak, spokesmen for the faction. demanded that the Kadum group be authorized to establish a permanent settlement in central Samaria. The Cabinet decided on May 9 to offer the squatters an alternative site but none has been announced so far. Government settlement policies have excluded Samaria.
