Eran Sternberg, a spokesman for the Gaza settlers, said activists had visited more than half the 193,000 Likud members and will continue such meetings until tomorrow.

"We have a very good feeling about the campaign," he said. "We think we're going to win."

Opponents received a boost on Thursday from 300 rabbis with ultranationalist views, who urged Likud members to vote against the plan. The rabbis said in a letter that a pullback violates religious precepts and endangers lives.
