Sharon accepts Middle East peace plan
Israel’s prime minister Ariel Sharon has said he will take a US-backed “road map” for Middle East peace to his Cabinet as early as tomorrow – and saying he is confident the plan will win approval.
Sharon reluctantly accepted the plan yesterday after Washington assured him publicly that the United States would take into account a list of Israeli objections. The Palestinians – who have already accepted the road map despite some reservations – received no such assurances.
