Sharon Warned Not to Promise Anything in U.S.
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon will depart this evening for a six-day visit to the United States. After meeting with Jewish leaders in New York, he is scheduled for a lengthy meeting with U.S. President George Bush on Sunday. Sharon will outline the concessions he is willing to propose to the Palestinians after they cease their violence. The Prime Minister's Office denied this week a Ma'ariv newspaper report saying that he would propose to withdraw from another 10% of Judea and Samaria.

National Religious Party head Rabbi Yitzchak Levy says that the Prime Minister is going to the U.S. "simply to invite pressure upon himself for withdrawals and gestures." The newly-elected Secretary-General of the Yesha Council, Adi Mintz of Dolev, calls upon Sharon not to promise further withdrawals. "He should remember that he himself called upon the residents of Yesha to take over as many hilltops as they could," Mintz said.

Bush and Sharon will also discuss a possible U.S. attack on Iraq, leading to a possible Iraqi retaliation on Israel, and what Israel's response might be.
