Finding none, they brutally murdered Stethem on a stop in Beirut and threw his body out on the tarmac. (Please click headline to read more)

Both Likud and Blue AND White fell short of the 61 seats needed to form a government. What exists may be a free for all, almost. But perhaps not for Bibi. (Please click on headline to read more)

Prior to his election as president, Zelensky, who is Jewish, was a comedian and actor who appeared in numerous movies and television shows.
