Ariel Sharon, who has been comatose since suffering a massive stroke in January, will be moved from Jerusalem's Hadassah Hospital to a long-term care facility in Tel Aviv. The 78-year-old Sharon will be transferred on Sunday to Tel Aviv's Sheba Medical Centre, probably in the morning, Hadassah's spokesman said on Saturday.
But Ron Krumer denied a local television report that the former premier could be moved overnight. The move had been discussed for several weeks, since Sharon has shown no signs that he will regain consciousness. Sheba will try to take Sharon off a respirator and make other efforts to revive him, Channel 2 said. |
