Sharon to Peres: don't worry about American pressure -- "We Control
America"
Jerusalem: 3 October, 2001 (IAP News)
An acrimonious argument erupted during the Israeli cabinet weekly
session last week between Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and
his foreign Minister Shimon Peres during which Sharon reportedly
yelled at Peres, saying "don't worry about American pressure, we
control America."
According the Israeli Hebrew radio, Col Yisrael Wednesday, Peres
warned Sharon that refusing to heed incessant American requests for
a cease-fire with the Palestinians would endanger Israeli interests
and turn the US against us.
At this point, a furious Sharon reportedly turned toward Peres,
saying "every time we do something you tell me American will do
this and will do that. I want to tell you something very clear,
don't worry about American pressure on Israel, we, the Jewish people
control America, and the Americans know it."
The radio said Peres and other cabinet ministers warned Sharon
against saying what he said in public because "it would cause us a
public relations disaster."
