Sharon: Unlimited operations in Gaza
 Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has given orders for troops to carry out unlimited operations against Palestinian fighters in the Gaza Strip. "The current situation is unacceptable and cannot be allowed to continue," Sharon said at the start of the weekly cabinet meeting on Sunday. "The Tsahal (army) and the security forces have received orders to operate without any limits on time or their modus operandi to act against the terrorist organisations.In the first Palestinian reaction to Sharon's new policy, Palestinian foreign minister Nabil Shaath said the new military campaign under way in Gaza will only serve to further undermine the peace process,. "This policy will not serve the peace process and I ask the Israeli people to reject this Sharon policy," Shaath said after a meeting with his Japanese counterpart Nobutaka Machimura in Ram Allah.
