Just turned on BBC World News. Israeli PM Arial Sharon is ‘fighting for his life’ after a stroke.
BBC-WN: ‘PM had “massive internal bleeding”.’
The reports certainly don’t sound very hopeful.
This isn’t good. He may not survive.
How did Binyamin Netanyahu DO that?!?
Just kidding, totally crass. Sorry. But to have a hawk make such a turnaround and then not be able to see his plans through is going to hurt the peace process, no doubt about it. And there are no doubts as to where Netanyahu’s sympathies lie.
My thoughts are with the Sharon family.
And another thing- which doctor pronounced him in good health after that mini-stroke two weeks ago? Yikes.
If the worst happens, what’s the succession? Does the Deputy PM (Olmert?) become PM until there’s an election?
(Now I’m waiting for the retraction…“Oops, we said he was resting comfortably, but in fact he died on the operating table; we just heard wrong.”)
