According to Cabinet sources, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon will likely keep his original promise to demolish the homes of "settlers" in Gaza after they are pushed out at the end of the summer.
The decision to tear down the houses was made a year ago, following Sharon's defeat in the poll among Likud members. A demolition was intended to prevent Palestinians from "dancing on the rooftops" after the settlers' evacuation.
The sources said over the weekend that no convincing reason had been given for leaving the houses intact, especially since the Palestinian Authority also supports destroying them.
In the meantime, Sharon also intends to go ahead with the Nitzanim Plan, even if an insufficient number of settlers from Gush Katif decide to agree to the plan. The Cabinet will ask the National Planning and Construction Council to begin drafting a master plan for new communities in the Nitzanim area.
