I think it's wishful thinking from a propagandistic regime, Daniel.
Here's the latest that I can find:

Prime Minister Ariel Sharon was fighting for his life after suffering a massive brain haemorrhage, throwing Israel into turmoil barely three months before a general election likely to determine the future of Middle East peacemaking.
The 77-year-old Sharon was placed in a deep coma Thursday after undergoing seven hours of surgery before doctors were able to halt bleeding in his brain but he remained in a critical condition.
As Sharon's sons Omri and Gilad gathered at their father's hospital bedside, some of the premier's closest allies said his life remained in danger and acknowledged that the man who has made an indelible mark on Israel's political and military landscape is unlikely ever to be able to return to office.
Palestinian leaders expressed fears that Sharon's departure from the political scene would leave a massive void and could plunge the region into more bloodshed.
