Mr. Sharon was rushed to Jerusalem's Hadassah Hospital after complaining of chest pains late Wednesday.
Dr. Shlomo Mor-Yosef the medical director of Hadassah hospital says Mr. Sharon is currently under general anesthetic 3 and is receiving breathing assistance. In a brief statement Dr. Mor-Yosef told a shocked Israeli public that Mr. Sharon had suffered a "significant stroke."
"Good Evening, the prime minister arrived about one hour ago at Hadassah Hospital," he said. "The diagnosis 4 is a significant stroke. For the purpose of the diagnosis has been given an anesthetic and is on a respirator. He is now in the imaging department for a more precise diagnosis of the event."

Dr. Shlomo Mor-Yosef went on to say that initial tests indicate that Mr. Sharon had suffered a cerebral 5 hemorrhage, or bleeding on the brain.
Israel's government reacted immediately, transferring Mr. Sharon's powers to his Vice Premier Ehud Olmert. Cabinet Secretary Yisrael Maimom made the announcement.
"Given the fact that the treatment of the prime minister requires anesthetic I spoke 6 to the attorney general and the deputy prime minister, Ehud Olmert, and it has been decided 7 that Minister Olmert have powers transferred to him," he said. "The other ministers have also been updated."
