Sharon’s Speech Ignored

Israel’s Prime Minister Ariel Sharon made a speech which would have been unthinkable just a few years ago. He called, unequivocally, for the creation of a Palestinian State in line with the Bush peace roadmap.

Interestingly, the day after such a dramatic statement, the international Arab and Palestinian press are largely ignoring the speech. Headline news items concern Israeli assassinations in Gaza and Hebron and weapons inspectors in Iraq.
