The Likud party's central election committee decided Sunday to hold a referendum on Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's disengagement plan on April 29, Israel Radio reported.

Two days later, Sharon's cabinet will vote on the plan, and if it is passed, the plan will be brought before a Parliament vote, the report said.

The Likud committee has asked Sharon to present the details of his plan to committee chairman Zvi Cohen by April 18, then the plan would be sent immediately to all 200,000 registered Likud members eligible to vote, the report added.

Likud legal adviser Eitan Haberman said Sunday that the referendum would not present details of disengagement and it would only ask whether Likud members are for or against Sharon's plan.
