- Story Text: Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has met U.S.
Secretary of State, Colin Powell, and Senators on Capitol
Hill.
Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon defended his
decision to build a security fence along the West Bank on
Tuesday (July 29, 2003) in evening meetings with Secretary of
State Colin Powell and several U.S. Senators.
Earlier Sharon told U.S. President George Bush Israel
would continue building the West Bank security fence
despite U.S. concerns the wall would deter peacemaking
efforts in the region.
Sharon pledged to do his utmost to ensure the fence
snaking through the West Bank would have a minimum impact
on daily Palestinian life.
