Sharon faces cabinet test on Gaza
The Israeli cabinet is due to hold a crucial meeting to discuss Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's controversial plans for pulling out of Gaza.


Sunday's cabinet meeting is being seen in Israel as a showdown between Mr Sharon and his political rival in the Likud Party, Benjamin Netanyahu, says the BBC's Richard Miron, in Jerusalem.
Mr Netanyahu, a former prime minister and currently finance minister, is seen as having played a crucial part in Mr Sharon's failure to win majority support for even a slimmed-down version of his Gaza plan.
Mr Sharon has since reverted to his original plan.
