Ariel Sharon was discharged from the hospital. The Israeli prime minister walked out of Hadassah-University Hospital in Jerusalem’s Ein Kerem neighborhood on Tuesday after less than 48 hours of treatment for a mild stroke. “It seems you’ve missed me. Now I must quickly get back to work and move ‘forward,’ ” Sharon told reporters, punning on the Hebrew meaning of his new centrist party, Kadima. Doctors said it would be several days before Sharon was back to his full working capacity.
