Sharon got his great new prestige from leaving Gaza and founding a center party; the party and the evacuation did not derive their popularity from him. Given Israel's globalizing economy, the logic of this party is much stronger than Sharon.

Sharon caused a fundamental earthquake in the concept of the peace process. His way was separation and to let the Palestinians stew in their own juices, so to speak ... How this will continue without Sharon is what everyone is asking now.
Ned Walker
There are large question marks among many Israelis about what Sharon will do the day after evacuations are completed, ... Many think he will not go further than this.

She (Sharon) is never short of advice and not all of it is about rugby league.
Craig Hodges
He sabotaged the Mitchell report instead of accepting it when he said that he will continue building settlements. So what does the Mitchell report mean? Sharon wants to continue building settlements; therefore there will be no peace. Therefore if the occupation continues and the Israel army continues raiding Palestinian cities and people. So what does it mean when he accepts Mitchell report?
Ahmed Abdel Rahman
This is a personal showdown between Sharon and Netanyahu and later this month we will see one-to-one combat between them.
