Sharon weighs Netanyahu offer as early elections loom
In Jerusalem, Ariel Sharon courted Benjamin Netanyahu to join his government if elections are held early. Netanyahu seeks a foreign minister post and a stronger Likud, while the National Union Israel Beiteinu demands policy shifts including a end to interim peace talks and designation of the Palestinian Authority as a terrorist entity. Violence in Gaza continues as Israeli forces kill five Palestinians.
