Sharon’s Passover Interview

Every year the Israeli Prime Minister gives an extended, candid interview to a prominent journalist, on camera just before the Passover holiday. You can read Ariel Sharon’s recent interview with Ben Caspit at Maariv. Excerpt:

Sharon: I gave much thought to the [evacuation] issue until I reached the conclusion that part of the settlement enterprise, in Gaza probably the entire one, would eventually have to be evacuated. I said this even prior to my first term in office.

Maariv: True, but no one took you seriously.

Sharon: Let me give you a piece of advice: Take me seriously.

Also, the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs has a page in memory of the victims of the Park Hotel massacre by Palestinian terrorists, two years ago as they were celebrating the Passover seder dinner.
