On Wednesday, Jan. 1, 2014 thecondition of the comatose former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has taken a turn for the worse,the hospital treating him said Wednesday.

JERUSALEM The medical condition of the comatose former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel

Sharon sharply deteriorated Wednesday, the hospital treating him said.

Sharon, 85, has been in a coma since 2006 when a devastating stroke incapacitated him

at the height of his political power. His family has said that he sometimes opens his eyes

and moves his fingers.

Amir Marom, a spokesman for Tel Hashomer hospital, where Sharon has been treated for

most of the past eight years, said Wednesday that Sharon's medical condition has

"deteriorated in the past few days." He refused to elaborate. Contacted by The Associated

Press, Sharon's son, Omri, refused to comment.

Israeli media reported that Sharon was suffering from kidney problems and that his family

was at the hospital. In September, Sharon underwent surgery to insert a new feeding tube.

Sharon was one of Israel's most iconic and controversial figures. As one of Israel's most

famous generals, Sharon was known for bold tactics and an occasional refusal to obey

orders. As a politician he became known as "the bulldozer," a man contemptuous of his

critics while also capable of getting things done. A prominent hard-line voice over thedecades, he was elected prime minister in 2001.

In mid-2005, he directed a unilateral withdrawal of Israeli troops and settlers from the Gaza

Strip, ending a 38-year military control of the territory. It was a shocking turnaround for a

man who had been a leading player in building Jewish settlements in captured territories.

He later bolted his hard-line Likud Party and established the centrist Kadima Party. He

appeared on his way to an easy re-election when he suffered the stroke in January 2006.

His deputy, Ehud Olmert, took over and was elected prime minister a few months later.

Sharon had a first, small stroke in December 2005 and was put on blood thinners before

experiencing a severe brain hemorrhage on Jan. 4, 2006. After spending months in the

Jerusalem hospital where he was initially treated, Sharon was transferred to the long-term

care faci lity at Tel Hashomer hospital. He was taken home briefly at one point but returned

to the hospital, where he has been since.
