Prime Minister Ariel Sharon yesterday praised U.S. President George W. Bush and his determination to wage war against Iraq. Sharon strongly supported the need to change the leadership in Iraq, but said Israel is not involved in the war. Senior defense officials say the likelihood that Iraq would launch missiles at Israel in the case of an American attack is "very, very, very low."

"It's impossible to free one's self from the feeling that if in Europe, in the 1930s, there had similarly been such a leader, it's possible that Europe would not have been ravaged by World War II and that we, the Jewish nation, would not have paid the terrible price of losing 6 million people," Sharon told members of Likud's Knesset faction on Monday.

"We know there is a real and necessary attempt here to stop rogue governments, like the one in Iraq, from endangering the region and the world... We have been fighting terrorism for more than 120 years; we know the threat it poses, and now the world has a better understanding of how serious the danger is...

"We hope that if there is such a war, it will open up more opportunities for diplomatic initiatives that could lead to peace," Sharon said.

Sharon emphasized that Israel was not involved in the war. "We are neither pressing to move it forward, nor do we seek to postpone it. We know that this is a necessary attempt to bring an end to the capability of tyrannical regimes, such as the one in Iraq, to tangibly endanger the entire world."

Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom and U.S. Ambassador Dan Kurtzer yesterday denied reports published in Maariv on Monday that the Bush administration was so angry about leaks and public pronouncements emanating from Israel that it had decided not to give Israel prior warning about the beginning of the expected campaign against Iraq.

"There is no way we are going to surprise our ally, so I don't know where those press reports came from," Kurtzer said. "They are without foundation."

"The blabbering of senior officials in and out of uniform who talk as if they were conducting the war is causing harm," ynet yesterday quoted Foreign Ministry sources as saying.

Sharon decided that from now on, only he, Shalom and Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz will make public comments about the expected war with Iraq, while all other ministers will be forbidden to give interviews on the topic

Warning will be given hours ahead of American attack
Yediot Aharonot reported today that the United States promised to provide Israel with advance warning of the start of its attack against Iraq, but it would be only "hours" in advance, much shorter than earlier assumed. The notice would be given to Sharon personally in a phone call from Washington, the paper said. Previously it was thought that Israel would have as much as a 72-hour advance notice of the attack.

Sharon met yesterday with Maj.-Gen. Charles Simpson, director of operations for the U.S. Air Forces in Europe, who will serve as liaison between the American army and the defense establishment in Israel. Simpson is due to remain in Israel during the entire Iraqi campaign and coordinate security arrangements between the two countries.

Senior IDF officials said that if Saddam Hussein planned to attack Israel in response to an American strike, there would already be signs of preparations in western Iraq, Maariv reported today. According to foreign news reports, dozens of satellites are spying on territories from which Scud rockets could be fired at Israel, and the area is presently free from rockets.

Maariv reported that senior officials in the IDF have reached the conclusion that the possibility of an Iraqi missile strike at Israel is highly unlikely. One unnamed senior official was quoted as saying, "The chance [of an Iraqi attack] is very, very, very low."
