The condition of the former "Israeli" Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has taken a turn for the worse, the hospital treating him said Wednesday.


Sharon near Death Sharon, 85, has been in a coma since 2006 when a devastating stroke incapacitated him at the height of his political power.
Since then, he has been in a vegetative state, connected to a respirator. His family has said that he sometimes opens his eyes and moves his fingers.

Amir Marom, a spokesman for Tel Hashomer hospital, where Sharon has been treated for most of the past eight years, said Wednesday that Sharon's medical condition has "deteriorated in the past few days."

Channel 10 TV reported that Sharon was suffering from kidney problems, and was in a life-threatening condition. In September, Sharon underwent surgery to insert a new feeding tube.
As a war minister, he led the Zionist entity's 1982 invasion of Lebanon, and was responsible for heading the Sabra and Shatilla horrible massacre.

Known as one of the most hard-line "Israeli" leaders, he was elected prime minister in 2001.
In mid-2005, he was obliged, under the resistance fire, to announce a unilateral withdrawal of troops and settlers from the Gaza Strip, ending a 38-year occupation of the territory.

He bolted the Likud party and established the centrist Kadima Party, where he was joined by Ehud Olmert and Tzipi Livni. He appeared on his way to an easy re-election when he suffered a severe stroke in January 2006.

His deputy, Olmert, took over and was elected prime minister a few months later.
However, Olmert suffered a severe blow after his army's humiliating defeat in 2006 war against Lebanon.
