The "Land of Israel Loyalists" faction in the Likud has presented a petition signed by over 250 Likud Central Committee members asking that the Central Committee be convened to discuss and decide the matter of a Palestinian state. The petition states that a resolution stating, "The Likud Committee instructs all Likud representatives in the Knesset and in the Government to object to the establishment of a Palestinian state in the Land of Israel west of the Jordan River" be put up for a vote at the next Committee meeting. The group, headed by Aviad Visuly, said that if a date for the session is not set by the end of this week, it would turn to the party's court for redress.
