A Palestinian state is inevitable, Sharon says

Israeli dailies quoted Infrastructure Minister Arael Sharon as saying to US officials that he sees the establishment of a Palestinian state as inevitable.

The Israeli daily Maa'rif said that during his last week visit to the US, Sharoun stated "with great regret .., A Palestinian entity will eventually lead to the establishment of a state".

During his visit to the US, Sharon met with senior US officials including Presidential national security advisor Sandy Burger. For its part, the Israeli daily Yad'out Ahranout said Israel should in all conditions keep control of a large part of the occupied Palestinian West Bank at a depth of 20 Km. Eastward and a depth of 7 to 10 km. Westward with the whole of Jordan valley.

Recently, Henry Kissinger made similar statements about the inevitability of Palestine becoming a state.
