"I have asked the government to discuss the plan and I have several options in mind for its implementation," said Justice Minister Yossi Lapid, whose centrist Shinui party is a strong supporter.
Meanwhile, violence on the ground continued, with a local leader of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades moderately wounded during fierce clashes with Israeli troops in a northern West Bank refugee camp.
Israeli troops were on high alert Saturday at the outset of the daylong Jewish festival of Lag Baomer, which started at sundown.
