Shas leader: Sharon is evil, will be struck and die
By: Haaretz   
Published: March 9, 2005   
 
Shas spiritual leader Rabbi Ovadia Yosef on Tuesday called Prime Minister Ariel Sharon "evil" due to his disengagement plan, and said "God will strike him with one blow and he will die, he will sleep and not awake."

In a pre-Purim sermon in a Jerusalem synagogue, the rabbi expressed fierce opposition to Sharon and the disengagment plan, adding, "What a cruel and evil man does such things."

Sources from the Sephardi ultra-Orthodox party said Wednesday that the rabbi does not wish Sharon's death, but rather that the disengagement plan die.
