...countries just before the Six-Day War. That line would put Syria on the cusp of the Sea of Galilee, a valuable water source for Israel. Barak insists Rabin never made such a promise, and refused to restart the talks with that boundary locked in ahead of time...
...attack on the gunmakers, is patterned closely on the tobacco campaign and even involves some of the same lawyers. But the federal role is different this time. When the government finally sued the tobacco companies last September, it was more than a year after the states had concluded a far-reaching settlement with the industry.

But Putin...

"The Israeli government regards the papal visit as a coup, because they believe that his visit to Jerusalem as a guest of Israel lends legitimacy to Israel's claim of sovereignty over the city," says TIME Jerusalem bureau chief Lisa Beyer. "But diplomatic relations between them, which have existed only since 1994, remain tense." Like most of the international community, the Vatican has never recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital, and it considers itself something of a stakeholder in the city by virtue of its religious...
