The leaders of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations have conveyed their congratulations to Ariel Sharon on his election as Prime Minister of Israel.
\"While there are many issues that will demand the Prime Minister-elect’s immediate attention, we believe that the unity of the people of Israel and of world Jewry must be a priority,\" said Chairman Ron Lauder and Executive Vice Chairman Malcolm Hoenlein. The Jewish leaders pledged solidarity with Mr. Sharon and vowed to work together to strengthen the ties between the U.S. and the American Jewish community, and Israel. \"We appreciate the statements by the US administration that they will work with the new Israeli government, underscoring the importance of the special US-Israel relationship,\" they said. \"We hope the international community will do likewise and work closely and cooperatively with prime Minister-elect Sharon. With the backdrop of on-going Palestinian violence and the disruption of peace negotiations, the strong support of the new US administration as well as the American Jewish community is vital.”
Americans For a Safe Israel/AFSI is delighted to welcome Ariel Sharon as Israel’s new Prime Minister, and expresses its hope that he declares the Oslo process null and void, that he “undo all its mistakes,” that there will be no negotiations while Palestinian violence and terror continue, that safety be restored on Israel’s roads, and more.
