Sharon Held Talks with Top Palestinian Officials
Publication of the Sharon interviews coincided with an opinion poll that showed a sharp drop since early December in public support for him in the face of renewed violence.

At least 827 Palestinians and 249 Israelis have been killed since the uprising began.

The Maariv-MarketWatch poll showed 48 percent were happy with Sharon's overall performance while 43 percent were dissatisfied. Nine percent did not respond.

The findings, which indicated the largest erosion yet of public backing for the right-wing prime minister, compared with a 57 percent approval rating in Maariv's last poll in early December.
