  • Story Text: French UMP party leader Sarkozy meets Israeli
    Prime Minister Sharon in Jerusalem.

    Nicolas Sarkozy, the head of France's governing party UMP met
    Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon in Jerusalem on Wednesday
    (December 15, 2004) as part of his three-day visit to the region.

    Earlier in the day, Sarkozy visited the Israeli holocaust memorial of
    Yad Vashem on Wednesday (December 15, 2004).

    Sarkozy, whose visit to Jerusalem is his first foreign trip since being
    elected to the post last month, has cultivated strong links with France's
    Jewish community, and has been widely credited with initiating moves to
    counter anti-semitism in France.

    Sarkozy, a former interior and finance minister, is due to hold talks
    with Israeli leaders and to address the Herzliya conference, a keynote
    strategy event attended by Israeli political and military decision makers.
