Previous forecasts of population changes already have proven to be too low, and the baby boom already is changing the face of European society, where Muslims have made inroads to challenge the authority of secular law with Sharia regulations.

The demonstrators tried to disrupt the cabinet meeting by blowing air horns. When that was deemed ineffective, dozens of the Druze tried to rush the government building, and had...

The officials said that the speech which Netanyahu delivered at Bar Ilan University was much worse than they had expected. They also warned that Netanyahu's policies would trigger a new intifada. Some of Abbas's top advisors accused Netanyahu of "burying the peace process" and said the ball was now in the court of US President Barack Obama.
