Arutz-7 has learned that Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has asked the US to give Israel a \"green light\" for strong action against the Palestinian Authority. The request specified that Israel does not wish to reconquer all of the PA-controlled territories, but rather to carry out a more limited offensive. A senior source in Sharon\'s office says that coalition constraints are preventing him from taking strong action against the PA, and that the Likud ministers are not helping in this area. \"They are very tough in interviews with the media, but at government meetings they barely open their mouths,\" he said.
