[With Elections Over] Sharon Given Virtually No Chance of Regaining Consciousness
Commentary;
[IMRA: “Sharon is given virtually no chance of regaining consciousness” – but Attorney General Mazuz refused to act on this fact before the elections. It would have meant the very real possiblity that Binyamin Netanyahu, as head of the Likud party, would have run in the elections as prime minister and Mr. Olmert and his Kadima party would run as members of the opposition. Olmert would not have enjoyed the daily stream of PM photo-ops and he would have had to deal with a group bickering “Volvo-less” (not ministers) Kadima party colleagues.]

Haaretz Editorial: Who Decided to Conceal Truth About PM Sharon’s Health From the public?
Excerpt;
“Most of the questions raised about the quality of treatment given to Prime Minister Ariel Sharon are essentially medical, but beyond that, there are other questions of public concern. Who, for example, decided to conceal from the public the truth about the blood vessel disease diagnosed after Sharon’s first stroke? And did doctors issue the partial medical report in good faith, or in consultation with Sharon and his advisers? ”
