TEL AVIV, Israel, June 29 (UPI) -- Israeli Defense Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer has pledged to evacuate 10 settlements Sunday, and more later on in a move that could lead to a showdown with settlers and their supporters within Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's government. Ben-Eliezer, who is also Labor Party chairman, said most of the illegal outposts were established before he became defense minister.
