Pressure upon Likud ministers to resign is stepping up
Israel National News reports that the demand of Likud members against expulsion for Likud ministers in the government to resign is growing:
(IsraelNN.com) Approximately 500 Likud party Central Committee members are calling on the party ministers to resign their posts in Ariel Sharon's government. The Likud loyalists warned the ministers that Sharon was using them, and that they would have collective responsibility for any action the government takes.The ministers in question, who include Limor Livnat, Dan Naveh, Yisrael Katz, and Silvan Shalom, would be strongly advised to do so for the added reason that they could end up jeopardizing their own political futures if they don't.
The chairman of the regional Likud branches in Judea, Samaria and Gaza, Shevach Stern, said, "They must remember that they are part of a bridge for Sharon to continue his rule until such time as he finds another political framework within which to compete."
