Good news! Debka File - Close to 200,000 Likud members vote Sunday on Sharon's disengagement plan that calls for Israel's withdrawal from Gaza Strip and part of West Bank without negotiations. PM says he wont be bound by referendum result but still put all his prestige on the line. DEBKAfile reveals exclusively: Day before Likud membership referendum on disengagement, secret poll in hands of PM’s staff shows 54 percent majority in favor to 42 percent opposed – the reverse of results published Friday and a victory for Sharon.

Discrepancy explained by intense pro-Sharon campaigning among fringe vote primarily Arab Likud members in Negev and Triangle where en bloc voting is traditional which may tip scale in PM’s favor. Anti-withdrawal camp also certain of narrow victory.

Sharon plans government reshuffle immediately after polling. DEBKAfile political sources report 4 ministers who led opposition to disengagement likely first to be axed.
