Yesha Council leaders convened in Ofrah last night, following the Supreme Court's rejection of legal efforts against the demolition of "unauthorized Jewish outposts" in Judea and Samaria. They estimate that if thousands of people show up to actively oppose the evacuation, the plan to destroy the outposts will fail.



"No one expects the government to stop with just outposts," said Binyamin Council head Pinchas Wallerstein yesterday, explaining why supporters of Yesha must not sit quietly. "It's obvious that Sharon wants to uproot full-fledged communities as well."



Amanah settlement organization director Ze'ev (Zambish) Chever said that just as Prime Minister Sharon has changed his mind recently and now supports withdrawal from Gaza, he could also change his mind about the outposts if he sees the widespread opposition.



Ofrah residents will gather tomorrow night to discuss the possible upcoming destruction of two outposts attached to Ofrah: Ginot Aryeh, in which live three families and 20 singles, and the Mishp'tei Eretz Jewish Law Institute at Tal Binyamin.



Yesha leaders continue to call upon the National Religious Party and National Union to quit the government. Beginning on Sunday, Yesha Council representatives will stage a sit-in at the Rose Garden outside the Knesset, demanding that the two parties resign. Women in Green and Gamla Shall Not Fall Again will also protest on behalf of this cause on Sunday.



National Union leaders have said that they refuse to leave the government at present, because if they do, Labor will take their place and will approve the unilateral withdrawal from Gaza. Others say, however, that a Likud-Labor alliance might never get off the ground, due to internal Likud objections.
