Why Sharon is angry at U.S. He sees ultimatum coming on Palestinian state WorldNetDaily.com Israel believes that as soon as the dust settles, the United States, with European Union endorsement, will issue a peace plan to solve the Israeli-Palestinian problem. Aides close to Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said such a plan will not be a proposal. It will be a dictate and meant to assuage Arab anger over the current U.S. offensive against Afghanistan. The aides said that U.S. diplomats have been meeting with leading Israeli politicians, including ministers, to sound them out. The pressure began on the eve of the U.S.-led military offensive against Afghanistan. European leaders were calling their counterparts in Israel and urging them to offer gestures to the Palestinians. They also sounded enthusiastic about a new order in the Middle East that would unite against terrorism and bring peace to the region. The strangest phone call came from German Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer. Fischer told Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon that Syria is against terrorism and never supported attacks against civilians. Fischer said Israel must make painful sacrifices soon. An alarmed Sharon tried to speak to President Bush. Bush was not available. At that point, the prime minister spoke out. Sharon warned the United States and the West that Israel will not be sacrificed at the altar of political expediency. His warning to Bush was clear: I will no longer stay passive. Sharon's move worked. Bush and U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell denied any American plan. Bush spoke to Sharon and high-level political coordination resumed. Israeli diplomatic sources are still bracing for an American plan. But it won't be submitted in the near future. Best Regards, J.T.
