Call to Delay Gaza Pullout Rejected
2005-7-3 21:28:27    CRIENGLISH.com
The Israeli cabinet has overwhelmingly rejected a proposal by Agriculture Minister Yisrael Katz to delay a planned pullout from the Gaza Strip until November.

Eighteen ministers voted against the proposal, while only three, Finance Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, Health Minister Danny Naveh and Katz himself, voted in favor.

The disengagement plan, which demands a complete withdrawal from all Gaza Strip Jewish settlements and four smaller ones in northern West Bank, was once postponed from late July to mid-August.

Deputy Prime Minister Shimon Peres said before a cabinet meeting that should the government decide to postpone the disengagement, the Labor would leave the coalition.
