The ministers should "exercise their collective authority" and rebel against the agreement proposed by Theresa May regarding Brexit, said the former secretary of Brexit, David Davis.
The prime minister suggested a "temporary customs arrangement" for the whole of the UK to remain in the customs union while the Irish border problem is resolved.
The Brexiteers believe that this could turn into a permanent situation, limiting the freedom to conclude trade agreements.
In an article in the Sunday Times, Davis said the plan was "unacceptable".
"It's one of the most fundamental decisions the government has made in the modern era," he added.
The issue of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland is one of the last obstacles to the conclusion of a divorce agreement with Brussels, the quarrel continuing as to the nature of a "reinforcement" to keep the border open if a wider trade between the EU and the UK arrangement can not solve it.
The EU version, according to which Northern Ireland would remain aligned with the Brussels rules, was described as unacceptable by Ms May and the DUP.
Davis said the government's negotiating strategy was "fundamentally flawed" as a result of "the unwise decision taken in December to accept the EU's wording on border treatment with the EU." Northern Ireland ".
Negotiations between the UK and the EU have continued this weekend in the prospect of a crucial meeting of EU leaders next week, which will determine whether an agreement can be reached .
Deal or No Deal
On Saturday evening, the German newspaper Suddeutsche Zeitung announced that an agreement had already been reached between Ms. May and the EU and would be announced Monday.
But a No. 10 source told the BBC that the report was "100%, categorically wrong" and that negotiations were under way.
The newspaper said it saw a leaked note from EU negotiators and addressed to EU ambassadors, in which it was written: "An agreement has been reached".
