Prime Minister Sharon\'s refusal to accept yesterday\'s recommendations by the heads of the IDF and GSS is still resonating with dissonance in some quarters. Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Sha\'ul Mofaz and Avi Dichter told the government yesterday that the best solution to the ongoing terrorism is to take over many PLO-controlled areas for an extended period. Sharon, backed by Defense Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer and Foreign Minister Shimon Peres, said that the army is tightly encircling the cities and that this is most effective. MK Tzvi Hendel (National Union-Yisrael Beiteinu) said that once again Sharon and Ben-Eliezer are not \"letting the army win,\" and that \"weakness and lack of leadership have once again taken over the government.\" Hendel also noted that the murderers of Tourism Minister Rehavam Ze\'evi are being held in Jericho in \"open prison\" conditions, contrary to previous Israeli-U.S. agreements.
