Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon linked Palestinian incitement to the Red Sea resort bombings. “I would like to stress once more that although the attacks occurred in Egypt and struck a blow against it, they were directed against citizens of the State of Israel. Against the backdrop of the fiery comments by the Palestinian leadership, this issue becomes even more acute,” Sharon told his Cabinet on Sunday. The prime minister also voiced gratitude for Cairo’s handling of the Oct. 7 attacks on the Taba and Ras Satan resorts.
