PM Ariel Sharon Suffers Minor Stroke
By The Israel Project
It has been reported that Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has suffered a minor stroke. His condition has quickly improved and he was expected to be released soon according to Yuval Weiss, deputy director of Jerusalem's Hadassah Hospital.
PM Sharon recently broke from Likud Party which he helped found in order to create a new centrist party called Kadima (Hebrew for "forward"). All Israeli polls show that Kadima has a strong lead in the minds of Israeli voters.
PM Sharon is best known as the architect and implementer of Israel's dramatic withdrawal from Gaza this summer.

In addition to the Gaza peace initiative, PM Sharon has been a leading proponent of Israel's defensive security barrier which has saved countless innocent lives.
