Prime Minister Lavi Eshkol, who has been conducting Cabinet negotiations from his room in Hadassah Hospital, plans to present a now Government to Parliament on Decamber 27, it was indicated today.
The Premier was hospitalized Decamber 4 for rest and observation reportedly stemming from the strenuous election campaign which ended November 2 with a resounding victory for his Mapai-Achdut Avoda slate.
The Premier, who expects to leave the hospital before or during the coming weekend will not, however, deliver the programmatic speech normally presented by a Premier to Parliament in offering a new coalition. The speech will be printed and given to each member of Parliament instead.
