Sharon suffers major stroke
Update from The Jerusalem Post: "After a six-hour operation for cerebral hemorrhaging that continued for most of Wednesday night, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon was returned to the operating room following a CAT scan that revealed additional areas of cerebral bleeding."
Sharon suffered "a massive brain hemhorrage" late yesterday. Doctors have suggested that "Sharon's brain hemorrhage was complicated by the blood thinners that the prime minister has been receiving twice daily since his first, minor, stroke some two weeks ago." (I wrote about that here.)
According to Haaretz: "On Wednesday night, Sharon's prime ministerial authority was transferred to Deputy Prime Minister Ehud Olmert." An emergency Cabinet meeting will be held this morning.

All Things Beautiful TrackBack 'Rebel With A Cause' Sharon Suffers A Stroke

I heard an interesting comment on CBC Newsworld's The Hour. The host was interviewing Alan Dershowitz, a somewhat controversial law professor at Harvard, who frequently discusses the Israeli-Palestinian situation.
Dershowitz made the remark that he had spoken personally to Sharon a while back, and Sharon had told him that after he won the election, he was going to make an offer to Palestinians for peace: to either accept a deal similar to that brokered by Clinton at Camp David in 2000 (with Barak and Arafat), or accept the borders as defined by the Security Wall.
I've been searching the web to find confirmation of this elsewhere. And unfortunately The Hour doesn't have any transcripts.
