Sharon pushes unity as violence rages amid talks with Barak
Prime Minister-elect Ariel Sharon and Ehud Barak discussed a joint government while starkly differing on peace with the Palestinians. Arafat spoke by phone with Sharon in their first direct contact since Sharon’s win. Gun battles erupted near Ramallah as Hamas threatened more attacks and a car bombing in Jerusalem wounded an Israeli woman. Sharon offered Barak defense minister and sought a non-belligerency pact, while Barak said he would stay away from politics for a time. Labor split looms over joining a Likud coalition, with negotiations resuming Sunday and possible coalition shifts if talks fail.
