January 29, 2003

    I congratulate Prime Minister Ariel Sharon 
on his victory in Israel's elections yesterday. The friendship between 
the United States and Israel, and our commitment to Israel's security, 
remain firm. I look forward to continuing to work with Prime Minister 
Sharon and his new government in the search for peace and security for 
all Israelis and all Palestinians.
