Sharon Lauds Palestinian Aid Plan
(AFP/Queensland Courier-Mail-Australia) Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon endorsed a proposal that Europe participate in Middle East peace efforts by offering welfare services to Palestinians to weaken the influence of the radical group Hamas. "In order to support the Palestinian public which needs all these (services such as nursery schools and free medical care), Europe could create (similar) institutions which would not be connected to the Hamas movement," Sharon said. Sharon discussed the proposal at a meeting in London with British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
