Come Wednesday, all stakeholders in the Middle East peace process will likely have to digest the reality that Israel's new leader is a man dedicated to reversing what...

Police say they still cannot rule out the possibility the killings were random, that they resulted from a robbery, that a student was the killer, that the killer is still in town or that there are multiple killers...
