Jerusalem - Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon will on Friday sack two extreme-right members of his government, who have been summoned to his office, Sharon's spokesperson announced.
Israeli public radio had earlier said Sharon was expected to replace Transport Minister Avigdor Lieberman and Tourism Minister Benny Eilon of the National Union with ministers who could ensure him a majority within the cabinet in favour of his controversial plan to pull out of the Gaza Strip.
