Sharon: 'I am one of few who can make deal with Palestinians' By Ha'aretz Service Ariel Sharon: 'Peace hurts almost as much as war.' (Photo: Archive - AP) Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said Thursday that he is one of a handful of people capable of reaching a permanent settlement with the Palestinians and emphasized that it could only be achieved through a series of interim agreements between the two sides. Sharon made the comments in an address before the Editors Council at Beit Sokolov in Tel Aviv. "I believe the Palestinians are missing out on an exceptional opportunity," he said. "I am one of the few who can broker a deal with the Palestinians." "Peace hurts almost as much as war. And it won't be easy to stand before the [Israeli] public, but I believe that I can do this." "It is hard to be a Jew, but it is also hard to be a Palestinian," the prime minister also said. Changing tack, Sharon said that he intends to pay closer attention to fiscal issues in light of Israel's deepening economic crisis. He emphasized three areas on which the government intends to concentrate: infrastructure, education and unemployment. He also promised that he would become "personally" involved with the development of economic projects in cooperation with the appropriate government ministers. On the issue of rising unemployment and the perceived threat of foreign workers, Sharon said that the government will soon launch a "more serious" effort to deport illegal foreign workers. "Illegal foreign workers will be forced to leave Israel soon, and this also goes for illegal Palestinian workers," he added. "I do not foresee that Israel will allow Palestinian workers to return in the near future," continued Sharon. In reference to the political situation in Israel, Sharon said, "Our situation is far better than what some of you report in the newspapers." The prime minister added that he will find a way to "deal with terror."
