Some settlers accuse Mr Sharon of acting dictatorially with his controversial disengagement plans and have urged the security forces to disobey implementation orders.

Mr Sharon responded on Sunday:

"We have been witnesses in the last few days to a very serious campaign of incitement.

"I would say that some of these calls are actually directed towards a civil war," he said.

The BBC's James Reynolds in Jerusalem says some people find the current political climate is disturbingly similar to that of late 1995 - when right-wing activists led an angry campaign against Yitzhak Rabin, the then prime minister, and his efforts to follow peace accords.

This culminated in Rabin's assassination by a right-wing extremist.more..

The government's plan to withdraw from Gaza, and take all 8,000 Israeli settlers in Gaza away in the process, has again raised the possibility of violence between Israelis. Hardly civil war, because the faction that supports the settlements, and is willing to fight for them, is very small (less than ten percent of the population.) But the plan is to complete the evacuation by the end of 2005, so the settler faction sees now as the time to act to stop it.

The four year war between Palestinians and Israel has so far left 4,302 dead - 76 percent of them Palestinians.

Israeli settler pay approved, Sharon faces threats

iIn a new threat, a settler-rabbi, Yosef Dayan, told Israel's Channel Two television he was prepared to hold a mystical Jewish ceremony known as "Pulsa Denura" that would put a death curse on Sharon.

Dayan, a former member of the outlawed anti-Arab Kach party, conducted such a ceremony before Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin's assassination in 1995 by an ultra-nationalist Jew opposed to his interim peace accords with the Palestinians, media reports said
