Key figures in the national-unity government warn that it may not last much more time. Ministers Natan Sharansky (Yisrael B\'Aliyah) and Shlomo Benizri (Shas) say that the true test has come, and that if the Labor Party does not accept upon itself the required policy changes against the Palestinian Authority, the national-unity government has come to the end of its rope. Even coalition chairman Likud MK Ze\'ev Boim said, \"Israel must smash the PA, even at the expense of the national-unity government.\"
