Referendum offer

Yitzhak Rabin, the Israeli Prime Minister, could offer to call a referendum on any land-for-peace deal with Arabs in order to woo right-wing parties into his splintered coalition, his spokesman said, Reuter reports from Jerusalem.

Gad Ben-Ari said Mr Rabin's office had prepared a draft document for coalition talks with the right- wing Tsomet party which included a referendum option.
