Sharon calls for compromise with Palestinians
Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has called for reconciliation and compromise with Palestinians to "end the bloody conflict".In a speech at the UN in New York, Mr Sharon said the two sides must "embark on the path which leads to peace".
He said Israel proved its readiness for "painful concessions" by pulling its army out of the Gaza Strip on Monday.
A Palestinian official responded that the only solution was Israel's complete pullout from the occupied territories.
"The way to peace and stability is through an end to occupation," Palestinian chief negotiator Saeb Erekat was quoted as saying in Gaza by Reuters news agency

I suspect he is trying to pool some power and influence while he still can. I hear old Benny Nitinyahoo (no clue how to spell it) is challenging him for power of the Lakood (no idea on that spelling either) party.
yes he does have problems , but it is a comfort to keep hearing israeli politicans that are willing to keep talking about dialogue
i commend that
your right something has changed , this is certainly not the Ariel we are all used too ,
But like you , I wont complain :-)
Thats a very interesting quote
I suppose what I am trying to say is that I will (with reservations) put myself inline with any Israeli leader who is trying (genuinly) to move towards peace and equality for the palastinains , even if the motives may not be pure , if the result is a move forward then we have to support it ,
