Report Says Israeli Leader Ariel Sharon Won't Bring Disengagement Plan Before Party for Approval

The Associated Press

JERUSALEM Jan. 8 — Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon will not bring his plan to dismantle some settlements and impose a boundary on Palestinians before the hawkish central committee of his Likud Party, an Israeli newspaper reported Thursday.
Sharon has said previously that he would pursue his "disengagement plan" if peace talks do not bear fruit in the coming months.

However, many Likud officials consider the dismantling any of the roughly 150 Jewish settlements in the West Bank and Gaza Strip and withdrawal from any land there as anathema to their dream of a Greater Israel.

Israel captured the West Bank and Gaza in the 1967 Mideast war. More than 230,000 Jewish settlers live in the territories, home to 3.5 million Palestinians.

Sharon has largely ignored party officials, and the Maariv daily on Thursday quoted him as saying he will not bring his new plan to the central committee for approval.

3. What am I missing here?

Were he to bring it to the committee knowing it would be turned down, then you could fairly accuse him of wanting it to fail. If he bypasses the group and implements his plan of removal of the settlements why aren't you happy?

I apologize if I am misreading something, but to knee jerk a comment because Israel is always wrong in your mind, is a mentality you have to explain to me.
