| Sharon still thinking of dumping Yasser... |
| 2002-05-08 |
| Israeli Minister of Education Limor Livnat said Tuesday night that Israel might expel Palestinian Chairman Yasser Arafat because of the attack. Livnat is escorting Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, who blamed Arafat and cut short his trip after meeting with President George W. Bush. "It could be that in the end there will be no choice and we will have to expel Arafat," she told Israel Army Radio. She said she had no indication that Sharon had already made such a decision. But he's thinking about it... I doubt that'll happen, though, because of the hangwringing from the Euros and the squalling from the Arabs. I think the objective at the moment is to try and ease Yasser into a Terrorist Emeritus position and eventually into a nursing home where he can get full-time care. |
