      Knesset Votes Down No-Confidence


      The Olmert government has squeaked by in another round of votes that rejected four no-confidence motions submitted by opposition factions on Monday.

      The government is expected to face a more serious challenge on June 25, when a motion to dissolve the Knesset is likely to be proposed by the Likud and backed by the Labor and Shas parties, thus forcing new elections.
