Analysis: Prime Min Ariel Sharon of Israel calculates whether and in what degree to attack Gaza Strip; despite latest suicide bombing that cost 15 Israeli lives, Sharon is hemmed in by domestic politics and fragile new commitment from Washington to press for peace; senior aides to Sharon have doubts about how far Pres Bush is willing to press Israel and Palestinians toward peace, or whether Washington is simply trying to pacify angry Arab allies, American Jews and Republican right wing with talk of new diplomacy (M)
