Israel - The media await the death of PM Ariel Sharon
On the 7th floor of an Israeli hospital, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon remains in a critical but stable condition after falling ill earlier this week. He suffered a major stroke on Wednesday and since his admission to hospital has undergone several operations. He remains in a coma surrounded by saturation coverage on CNN who follow every development of the story. There is uncertainty in the region as to who will lead Israel’s government after Sharon. And as the immanency of his death become clear many are concerned as to where the peace process will go. A death curse had been made by a number of Jews unhappy with Sharon’s policies. Whether this influenced his health is not clear, but the division amongst the Israeli population is. [06/01/2006]
