Jeruslam, Occupied Palestine -- Sharon to Peres: don't worry about
American pressure -- "We Control America"
Occupied Jerusalem: 3 October, 2001 (IAP News)
An acrimonious argument erupted during the Israeli cabinet weekly
session last week between Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and his
foreign
Minister Shimon Peres during which Sharon reportedly yelled at Peres,
saying "don't worry about American pressure, we control America."
According the Israeli Hebrew radio, Col Yisrael Wednesday, Peres warned
Sharon
that refusing to heed incessant American requests for a cease-fire with
the
Palestinians would endanger Israeli interests and turn the US against us.
At this point, a furious Sharon reportedly turned toward Peres, saying
"every
time we do something you tell me American will do this and will do that�I
want
to tell you something very clear, don't worry about American pressure on
Israel, we, the Jewish people control America, and the Americans know it."
The radio said Peres and other cabinet ministers warned Sharon against
saying
what he said in public because "it would cause us a public relations
disaster."
