Sharon not happy with Abbas-Bush summit
AFP, Jerusalem
Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon is disappointed with US President George W. Bush's refusal to put pressure on Palestinian leader Mahmud Abbas to crush armed groups, aides said Tuesday. "The Palestinians came out feeling no pressure to fight terror and that they don't have to take immediate action," Sharon told US congressmen in Jerusalem on Monday, in comments relayed to AFP by a member of his office. "Mr Bush wants to be conciliatory towards Mr Abbas in public to show that he has turned over a new leaf after Arafat's death and the Palestinians are taking advantage by putting off dismantling terrorist organisations," an aide to Sharon told AFP.
