A difference of opinion has arisen in the Mizrachi movement between the Mizrachi and its labor wing, the Hapoel Hamizrachi, over whather to resign from the coalition government.
The conflict arose at a lengthy meeting following the refusal of Religious Bloc Ministers to attend the last session of the Cabinet. The Mizrachi laborites favor immediate resignation from the Cabinet over the alleged failure of the government to implement religious edicts and foster religious education in the immigrant camps. The non-labor group favors remaining in the government until results of the Mapai talks with the Mapm and the General Zionists for enlarging the coalition are made known.
