NYTimes:
"When Ariel Sharon was pushing his
plan for unilateral withdrawal from
Gaza in 2005, Rabbi Yosef said, “God
will strike him with one blow and he
will die, he will sleep and not
awake.” (Mr. Sharon suffered a
devastating stroke in early 2006 and
remains in a coma.)"
Is it true he predicted Mubarak will eventually be freed from prison?
Love me or hate me. I still love you.

Never heard that. In regards to your first quote, someone mentioned that it's interesting that he repeated twice
"יפול ולא יקום"
Sharon fell into a coma twice.

A small personal story. About 5-6 years ago I arranged with his son to see Chacham Ovadia after mincha. After praying, I quickly went upstairs and entered his room about a minute or two after mincha was over.

I was shocked to see him already in his chair, jacket off, glasses pushed up, pen in hand, concentrating deeply while writing the continuation of a long piece that he didn't finish before mincha. His son literally had to raise his voice while standing right in front of his desk to get the Rav's attention. To see someone so deeply entrenched in learning in just a few seconds was truly special to me.
