Prime Minister Ariel Sharon threatens to fire Cabinet opponents of his Gaza withdrawal plan and remake his parliamentary government with moderates after failing to muster a majority during a key meeting. He wants to withdraw Israeli soldiers and settlers from all of the Gaza Strip and evacuate four West Bank settlements, citing boosted security. His Likud Party rejected the U.S.-backed proposal in a May 2 referendum. In a rare interview with an Israeli TV station, Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat gave conditional support to the pullout plan.
