Israel Radio[R]eported that Prime Minister Sharon had decided to dismiss two Ministers to pave the way for the approval of his Gaza withdrawal plan. The two tried to avoid the Prime Minister's couriers carrying the dismissal letters. One minister, Avigdor Lieberman, was eventually tracked down at his gym, while the other, Benny Elon, remained elusive. The dismissals would take effect 48 hours after they have been received in person, within just enough time before a Cabinet vote on the Gaza withdrawal plan on 6 June, where Mr. Sharon expects an 11-10 majority, once the dismissals take effect.

After Tun Abdul Razak became prime minister in 1970, Tun Dr Mahathir rejoined UMNO and was re-elected to its Supreme Council in 1972. In 1973, Dr. Mahathir was appointed a Senator, a post he relinquished in order to contest in the 1974 General Elections. He was re-elected to Parliament unopposed in 1974 and was then appointed Minister of Education. When Tun Hussein Onn became prime minister in 1976, he made Tun Dr Mahathir his Deputy Prime Minister in addition to being Minister of Education. In a Cabinet reshuffle two years later, he relinquished the Education portfolio for that of Trade and Industry. As Minister of Trade and Industry, he led several investment promotion missions overseas.
