Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said yesterday that Iran, Libya and Syria
should
be stripped of weapons of mass destruction after Iraq. "These are
irresponsible states, which must be disarmed of weapons mass
destruction, and
a successful American move in Iraq as a model will make that easier 
to
achieve," Sharon said to a visiting delegation of American 
congressmen.

Sharon told the congressmen that Israel was not involved in the war
with Iraq
"but the American action is of vital importance."

In a meeting with U.S. Undersecretary of State John Bolton yesterday,
Sharon
said that Israel was concerned about the security threat posed by 
Iran,
and
stressed that it was important to deal with Iran even while American
attention was focused on Iraq.

Bolton said in meetings with Israeli officials that he had no doubt
America
would attack Iraq, and that it would be necessary thereafter to deal
with
threats from Syria, Iran and North Korea.

Bolton, who is undersecretary for arms control and international
security, is
in Israel for meetings on preventing the proliferation of weapons of
mass
destruction.

Bolton said Syria would get a chance to prove it was behaving in a 
way
worthy
of the international community and that dealing with North Korea had
not been
pushed aside, but postponed.

Bolton said the United States was striving to get a new UN Security
Council
resolution regarding Iraq and that the result of the vote would 
affect
the
U.S.'s relations with Western Europe and Russia, after the war in 
Iraq.

Bolton also met with Foreign Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Housing
and
Construction Minister Natan Sharansky.

Sharansky warned Bolton that the Quartet's (U.S., UN, European Union
and
Russia) plan for the Israelis and Palestinians deviated from 
President
Bush's
vision.
