| Peres bad-mouths Sharon... |
| 2002-07-28 |
| Israeli Foreign Affairs Minister Shimon Peres, meanwhile, voiced doubts about Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's ability to make peace with the Palestinians, according to an interview to be published Monday. In response to a statement that "many Israelis doubt whether Ariel Sharon could be a partner for peace," Peres told the German weekly Der Spiegel: "Me too, I have my doubts." But "as long as I feel able to change something and balance (the situation), I will stay" in the Sharon government, he said. "Thanks for yore support!" |

| #1 Peres's quotation is an answer in search of a question. Before the question can be framed, Peres needs to identify what he means by "Peace" and then he may be able to identify either: a. why he'll remain in a coalition government, or b. take Labour out of the coalition and try to win a national election. Otherwise, Likud is going to whip Labour in any election due to the "lesser of two evils" prospect for most Israelis who see Labour as having a history of accomodating terrorist demands and coddling Arafat's thugs. |
