The former terrorist leader of Likud, Menahem Begin, has also announced that ex-Labour Defence Minister Moshe Dayan, will be offered a post in the new cabinet.

Begin has not backtracked on his commitment to consolidate and His first major speech after his electoral victory was delivered to the semi-fascist religious fanatics of the Gush Emunim sect, who inhabit Camp Kadum in the occupied West Bank.
