At family's initiative: Ariel to be named after Ariel Sharon with large
center in his name
Dr. Aaron Lerner Date13 July 2009

Ariel Mayor Ron Nachman told IMRA today that the city council decided to
honor the request of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's family and is naming the
city after Ariel Sharon.

Ariel is located beyond the Green Line.

The decision is now being sent to the State "Name Committee" for final
approval.

The Ariel Sharon Center For The Study Of Settlement And Leadership 1882 To
The Present will be established in Ariel.

It is expected to include displays and presentations that will be visited by
students and tourists.

"I'd like to see Mr. Obama and Mrs. Clinton try to destroy a place named
after Ariel Sharon," noted Nachman, adding that he also couldn't imagine any
mainstream political party - including Kadima - interfering with the
approval process for the project.
