Prime Minister Ariel Sharon was rushed into surgery
at Hadassah University Hospital, Ein Karem late Wednesday night, after
intra-cranial bleeding was detected, following what doctors described
as a "significant stroke."
There was no immediate assessment
of the damage he may have suffered, but doctors assessed that Sharon's
chances of recovery may not be high.
As a result of his
condition, Deputy Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has taken over prime
ministerial authority, Cabinet Secretary Yisrael Maimon told reporters.
From Haaretz
prayers for the old terrorist, [or Haganah hand]. May the hole in his heart be healed by Christ's love. And may he be forgiven for his sins, if not. He will surely meet his judge.
