Hours after the United States said it would address Jerusalem's "significant concerns" about the internationally-brokered road map to Middle East peace, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said Friday that Israel is ready to accept the plan, and that it will be submitted for approval by his cabinet Sunday.
"The prime minister says that the State of Israel is ready to accept the steps which are outlined in the road map and it will be presented to the government for approval," the prime minister's office said in a statement.
