Four moderate members of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition recently threatened to quit the government if there is no further redeployment of Israeli troops in the West Bank, according to the Israeli daily Ha’aretz. The paper said the threat was kept secret in order not to limit Netanyahu’s negotiating stance. The four members of the Third Way Party have been holding contacts with the Labor Party to join in a no-confidence motion against Netanyahu if the United States announces a failure in its peacemaking efforts, the paper reported.
