Ariel Sharon Attend The Weekly Cabinet Meeting

JERUSALEM, ISRAEL - OCTOBER 24: Prime Minister Ariel Sharon (L, out of frame) chairs the weekly cabinet meeting in his Jerusalem offices, on October 24, 2004 in Jerusalem, Israel. The cabinet is expected to approve a "disengagement compensation bill" for carrying out the prime minister's controversial "disengagement plan" to remove Jewish settlers and Israeli soldiers from the Gaza Strip and several settlements in the West Bank. The law details the compensation package that Jewish settlers can expect to receive and outlines penalities for those who stay in evacuated areas or hinder the evacuation. The "disengagement plan" will be debated in the Knesset for two days beginning tomorrow and will be voted on Tuesday evening. (Photo by Jim Hollander-Pool/Getty Images)
