Only Sharon (Stone) Can Bring Peace
Actress promises visit after paying sick call on Foreign Minister, who broke ribs in fall at Swiss forum
TEL AVIV - Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom slipped while stepping off the runway in Switzerland Saturday fracturing two ribs, but was compensated by a visit from actress Sharon Stone.
Shalom tripped on the ice-covered sidewalk after stepping off a plane in Davos, Switerzland. He had arrived to take part in an economic forum.
However, he was more than fairly compensated receiving a sick call from actress Sharon Stone.
Stone was participating in the same economic forum to raise money for starving children in Malaysia and Tanzania.
According to the International Herald Tribune, Stone pledged $10,000 to combat malaria in Tanzania and urged other participants to "be on a team with me."
The Tribune reports more than 30 people stood up to join her and by the end of the debate $1 million was collected to purchase mosquito nets for Tanzanian children.
According to Yedioth Ahronoth Stone visited Shalom at his hotel for an hour. During the visit she said she could identify with his pain, as she had a similar accident more than 13 years ago.
Once their hot drinks arrived, Stone helped Shalom with his drink to ease his pain.
Shalom invited Stone to visit Israel and she responded by saying she would take him up on his offer. She is planning to come in a month and a half.
