Prime Minister Ariel Sharon arrived today in New York, where he will meet with American Jewish leaders. Tomorrow, however, comes the tough part of his trip when he meets in Washington with U.S. President Bush, Secretary of State Powell, and National Security Advisor Rice. Israeli reporters in Washington report that the Americans will pressure for a quickened timetable for the implementation of the Mitchell Report recommendations. In response, Sharon told reporters on his plane that he will not agree to a shorter ceasefire period, and will insist that there be a ceasefire of 100% before continuing to the next stage of any diplomatic agreements.
