JERUSALEM: "It always happens after an incident like Sunday's suicide bombing that bus ridership goes way down," reports Jerusalem bureau chief Lisa Beyer a day after Hamas claimed responsibility for two suicide bombers who killed themselves and 27 others in separate attacks on a bus in Jerusalem and in the coastal town of Ashkelon. "People are even staying away from busses in traffic. The city is totally on edge right now." Tensions ratcheted even higher Monday as an Arab-American smashed his car into a bus stop, killing one woman before two bystanders shot and killed...

The messages, Peres told the Knesset yesterday, say Israel will be ready to trade land for peace if Likud wins the parliamentary elections later this year.

McGeary, freshly promoted to senior foreign correspondent, had just landed in Israel to fill in for Jerusalem bureau chief Lisa Beyer (who is on maternity leave) and to develop in-depth stories about the region. She was having dinner on Saturday night when a friend's cell phone rang with news that hadn't yet hit the TV: the Prime Minister had been shot. McGeary, who had known Rabin professionally for many years, rushed to the TIME bureau and, with Beyer and four stringers, banged out the 15 pages of breaking coverage and analysis that appeared in TIME two days...
