Ariel Sharon reportedly weighs 312 pounds.
Ma’ariv published the statistic Thursday following speculation over whether the portly Israeli prime minister was dangerously heavy.
Sharon was briefly hospitalized for a stroke earlier this week, drawing dieting advice from the likes of President Bush. Ma’ariv quoted Sharon’s doctors as saying he should shed 145 pounds.
