Israel PM Faces Strong Opposition

JERUSALEM [MENL] -- Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu faces
increasing opposition to any cooperation with the United States for the
establishment of a Palestinian state over the next year.
Officials said Netanyahu's government could collapse if the prime
minister agrees to U.S. demands for unilateral withdrawal from or a total
housing freeze in the West Bank. They said most of the ruling coalition,
including those in Netanyahu's Likud Party, oppose an independent
Palestinian state.
