Sharon declines to meet with Kerry
Janine Zacharia and Herb Keinon Apr. 15, 2004

WASHINGTON – US Sen. John Kerry, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, had hoped to meet with Prime Minister Ariel Sharon during his visit to Washington, but Sharon declined, saying he did not have time.

Sharon, however, agreed to meet Kerry during his next trip to Washington, according to Israeli officials and Kerry campaign staff members.

Kerry on Wednesday blessed the agreements struck by US President George W. Bush and Sharon. Bush said after meeting Sharon that Palestinian refugees should return to a future state of Palestine, not Israel, and sanctioned the idea that Israel would retain control of some settlements as part of a final peace deal.

"I think that could be a positive step," Kerry was quoted by The Washington Post as saying. "What's important, obviously, is the security of the state of Israel, and that's what the prime minister and the president, I think, are trying to address."

Kerry was also quoted, in The New York Sun, as saying: "I've always felt that the right of return is contrary to the viability of a Jewish state, and that's what Israel is."

"Prime Minister Sharon and Senator Kerry sought a time to meet, but due to the constraints on the time it wasn't possible," Ambassador to the US Danny Ayalon said Wednesday.

Sharon arrived in Washington on Tuesday and departed Thursday after a breakfast with US Secretary of State Colin Powell.

When asked if Kerry had requested a meeting, a Kerry campaign official said, "I think it's fair to say there was a mutual desire to meet. The plan is to work it out on the next trip."

A senior Israeli official said Sharon had "no problem in meeting with Kerry," and that the prime minister "simply didn't have time." The official added, however, that Sharon believed "the main purpose of the visit was to conclude the withdrawal agreement with the president." Sharon "saw no need to discuss the plan with Kerry," the official said. Sharon also "did not want to be perceived as interfering in internal US politics," the official added.
