以色列总理沙龙永久失去能力 (Israel's Sharon &#39ermanently Incapacitated' )

以色列内阁星期二宣布沙龙总理“永久失去能力”，正式结束沙龙对以色列这个犹太国家为期5年的领导。现年78岁的沙龙今年1月4日严重中风，一直处于昏迷状态。

以色列内阁的决定同时确立奥尔默特作为沙龙继承人的地位。奥尔默特曾是沙龙的副手，今年1月代理总理职务。他领导沙龙创建的持中间立场的前进党在两个星期前的选举中取得胜利。奥尔默特正在试图组成一个联合政府。


Israel's Cabinet has declared Prime Minister Ariel Sharon \"permanently incapacitated,\" officially ending his five-year leadership of the Jewish state. The 78-year-old Mr. Sharon suffered a severe stroke on January fourth and has been in a coma since.

The Cabinet decision today (Tuesday) also confirms Ehud Olmert as the stricken leader's replacement. Mr. Olmert, who served as Mr. Sharon's deputy, became the acting prime minister in January. He led the new centrist Kadima Party created by Prime Minister Sharon to victory in national elections two weeks ago. Mr. Olmert is trying to form a coalition government.
