Israeli Finance Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday called for a "quick referendum" on Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's disengagement plan.
Speaking to reporters, Netanyahu said he was worried about the increasing concerns over the possible outbreak of a civil war following calls for soldiers, policemen and reservists to refuse orders to evacuate settlements.
The finance minister said he believed a quick referendum would prevent a major rift in the country and the Knesset (parliament) must immediately draft a legislation to enable such a referendum.
He suggested that the vote should take no longer than six weeks.
