Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon speaks to the media during a news conference in Tel Aviv December 1, 2005.
In his daily update to reporters since Sharon took a turn for the worse last week, Zeev Rotstein, director of the Sheba Medical Center near Tel Aviv, said the 85-year-old's cardiovascular system was stable but the function of his other organs was slowly deteriorating.
'Absent anything short of a miracle, his condition will get worse day by day,' Rotstein said. 'We are continuing to describe his conditional as critical, with immediate danger to his life.'
He said Sharon's two sons remained at his bedside.
One of Israel's most famous generals, Sharon left his mark on the region through military invasion, Jewish settlement building on captured land and a shock, unilateral decision to pull Israeli troops and settlers out of the Gaza Strip in 2005.
