The editors believe that Prime Minister Ariel Sharon is still struggling with his decision and that this is why he is taking his time in putting together a unity government. The paper urges Prime Minister Sharon to create a government which includes both the haredi parties and Shinui, in which the only condition to joining the government is that the haredi parties support the evacuation and its immediate implementation. Hatzofeh believes that the Likud was elected on the basis of its party platform that there would be no Palestinian state and that there would be no transfer of Jews. The editors argue that Prime Minister Sharon has become, a dictator, who, spits in his partys face.
