Disengagement Plan Faces Likud Referendum
(Jerusalem Post) Gil Hoffman - The membership of the ruling Likud party is to vote on Prime Minister Sharon's disengagement plan in a referendum on May 2, prior to its consideration by the Knesset and the Cabinet. Finance Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said Wednesday he would not endorse the plan until his demand for the security fence to be built around West Bank security blocs is added. "The issue is not a matter of American-Israeli relations, but it must be an internal Israeli decision," Netanyahu said.
