Sharon says Israel deviates from road map and pursues disengagement
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon declares in a Yediot Ahronot interview that Israel is not following the road map and will pursue unilateral disengagement from Gaza and four West Bank settlements in 2005 while a diplomat frames it as jump-starting the plan. Musharraf backs staying as army chief amid calls for civilian rule. Information Minister Rashid Ahmed cites public support for dual offices. Musharraf argues most Pakistanis want him to retain both posts.
