Sharon Addresses A Cabinet Meeting

SALEM, ISRAEL - MARCH 16: An Israeli bulldozer lays barbed-wire fencing March 16, 2003 near the Israeli checkpoint at Salem village near the entrance to the Palestinian city of Jenin. Overlooking the separation fence Israeli is building between itself and the West Bank, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon backed U.S. President George W. Bush's call for the Palestinians to approve a new prime minister with real authority as a precondition for the long-delayed "road map" Middle East peace plan to be unveiled.
