Kadima party officials told the Likud’s coalition negotiating team that Kadima plans to implement its “convergence plan” to uproot dozens of Jewish towns in Judea and Samaria by 2008.
 

Kadima negotiators said the withdrawals would be made prior to the next U.S. presidential election in November 2008.
 
After the meeting between the two teams which took place in Ramat Gan’s Maccabiah Olympic village, former Education Minister, MK Limor Livnat (Likud) concluded, “the chance that we’ll be joining the coalition is very, very unlikely.”

Kadima negotiators also told their Likud counterparts that Kadima would oppose holding a national referendum on carrying out the convergence plan.

Regarding the issue of obtaining international recognition for Israel’s borders after the convergence plan, Kadima representatives stressed that the party would look to obtain international approval for implementing the plan, but not for determining Israel’s new borders.
 
Livnat added that the “timetable” for implementing the convergence plan was “extremely short.” “Olmert’s intention is to make a quick move and use the coalition’s majority in the Knesset for the purpose of approving his plan,” she said.
