He added that Europe needs to declare Hamas and Islamic Jihad as terror organizations in order to stop the flow of funds to these groups. "I am committed to the road map and want to proceed, but unless the Palestinians meet their obligations - a war on terror and the dismantling of the terror infrastructure - it is impossible to make progress," Sharon said.
