- <p> In a raucous meeting of the right-wing Likud Central
- Committee last week, Trade and Industry Minister Ariel ("Arik")
- Sharon stunned the 3,200 delegates by announcing his resignation
- from the Cabinet. In a scalding attack against the party's
- leader, Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir, Sharon declared that
- "under your government, Palestinian terrorism runs wild
- throughout the land of Israel." He insisted, "I know it is
- possible to eliminate terror."
- </p>
- <p> Even without Sharon, the peace process remains constrained
- by Shamir's own uncompromising ideology. Last week he avoided
- ruling out the participation of Palestinians deported from the
- West Bank and Gaza in peace talks but vowed not to include East
- Jerusalem Arabs. Said Sharon to Israeli television: "I certainly
- see myself as a candidate for Prime Minister, and when the day
- comes, I will run for this post."
