Plans for a state funeral begin to be discussed behind the scenes as comatose former premier's health declines.
Former prime minister Ariel Sharon's condition continued to deteriorate at Sheba Medical Center at Tel Hashomer Thursday as plans for a state funeral began to be discussed behind the scenes.
Sharon made clear that he preferred to be buried on his Negev ranch next to his late wife Lily and not in the traditional grave site for former prime ministers at Mount Herzl. The Prime Minister's Office will handle arrangements for the funeral together with Sharon's sons, Gilad and Omri.
It was unclear Thursday whether many world leaders and foreign ministers would come to the funeral as they have to the recent funerals of the late South African president Nelson Mandela and former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher. US Secretary of State John Kerry spoke warmly of Sharon in his Jerusalem press conference with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu.
A close confidant of Sharon who visited his hospital bed Thursday told The Jerusalem Post that since he entered a coma after his stroke eight years ago, the former prime minister's family always hoped in vain that something would happen that would enable him to return to his former health. He said it was unclear how long Sharon would live.
"Nobody knows, not even the doctor, how long he could hold on," the confidant said. "If there is anything positive that emerged from this, it is the response from the public. We thought that after eight years nobody would care but it's not so." At press time, Sharon remained in critical condition, and his life remained in danger due to a deterioration in the function of vital organs, Professor Ze'ev Rotstein, the head of Sheba Medical Center at Tel Hashomer, said on Thursday.
All but the a$$&0le in the white hut.
Too busy destroying the USA.
Maybe the Messiah will show up incognito!
The hour of His coming may be at hand
(will world leaders attend?) No.....
Horse-faced liar. He hated, and still hates, everything that Sharon ever stood for. Sharon's very existence - and his courage on both the battlefield and in office - showed what a fake, phoney fraud Kerry was and is.
Refuah shelema, Arik.
0bama won’t go to the funeral. Neither will all the other Jew-hating middle eastern leaders.
I would be Putin shows, but obama doesn’t.
I’m sure Bill and Hillary will be there for the photo-op.
be=bet
darned cold fat fingers...
Stephen Harper will probably be there.
I'll confess that I am as nervous as a cat (perhaps excited is the better word)...and that is atypical for me. I even had dreams about it last night.
Does anyone else remember the prophecy (prediction) of a Hebrew Scholar Rabbi who predicted the 2nd coming would occur after Sharon’s passing? The story was first report when Mr. Sharon had his initial stroke. Some credence was given (at the time) to the prediction as the Rabbi (whose name I ca. It remember) was well thought of.
Since first seeing this posted, in the last 24 hours:
— a DVD I had just ordered (Angels:Vol. 3 Khouse.org)
— a book I was reading (Petrus Romanus)
— and a Freeper ping (Uri el-2012)
ALL had the same reminder of the note from Rabbi Kaduri.
Either just weird or something is really up.
Great place to meet chicks. Michelle probably makes O send Biden.
Ariel, stand up and let the people see ya!
Winner, winner, chicken dinner. They'll turn the funeral into her first official campaign stop.
