These are today’s top news stories.

1. Israel-Hamas War Updates

  • Israel said on Tuesday that its ground forces were battling Hamas fighters deep inside Gaza’s largest city, signaling a major new stage in the month-old conflict, and its leaders foresee controlling the enclave’s security after the war.
  • The push into Gaza City signals that the death toll will likely rise further, while comments from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about controlling Gaza for “an indefinite period” pointed to the uncertainty around the war that Israel says will be long and difficult.
  • Israeli ground troops have battled Palestinian militants inside Gaza for over a week, cutting the territory in half and encircling Gaza City.

2. Results From the 2023 Election in America

  • Democrats won key races in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Virginia, where abortion played a major role, especially in the campaign for the Virginia legislature, where Democrats are projected to maintain slim control of the state Senate and take control of the House of Delegates.
  • Voters in Ohio passed Issue 1, enshrining protections for reproductive rights into the state constitution, and also voted to legalize recreational marijuana use.
  • Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear of Kentucky has won re-election, defying the usual political leanings of the red state, defeating GOP state Attorney General Daniel Cameron in an expensive and hard-fought race.

3. Rashida Tlaib Censured Over Israel-Gaza Comments

  • The US Congress has voted to censure Michigan Democrat Rashida Tlaib, its only Palestinian-American member, over comments she made on the Israel-Gaza war.
  • Tlaib, who was rebuked after posting a video of the chant “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free”, which critics say calls for Palestinian control of all land between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, including Israel, was formally condemned by the resolution for “calling for the destruction of the state of Israel”.
  • The measure passed by 234 to 188 votes, with 22 Democrats voting to censure.

4. Ivanka Trump Testifies in Father’s New York Fraud Trial

  • Ivanka Trump takes the witness stand in a New York court on Wednesday in her father’s $250 million fraud trial, where she will be questioned about deals that prosecutors claim prove the Trump Organization knowingly misled lenders.
  • Former President Donald Trump took the stand Monday and was pressed about the values of his properties and his role in their appraisals, while his adult sons testified last week about their knowledge of and involvement with Trump’s financial statements.
  • The $250 million civil lawsuit brought by the New York attorney general‘s office alleges Trump and his co-defendants committed repeated fraud in inflating assets on financial statements to get better terms on commercial real estate loans and insurance policies.

5. Supreme Court Likely to Ban On Guns For Domestic Abusers

  • The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday seemed likely to uphold a federal law that bans gun possession for anyone subject to a domestic violence court order, in what would mark a small retreat from the court’s sweeping decision on gun rights last year.
  • Sixteen months ago, the conservative court majority, in a landmark decision, ruled that in order to be constitutional, a gun law has to be analogous to a law that existed at the nation’s founding in the late 1700s.
  • Tuesday’s case, which considered a federal law that makes it a crime for anyone subject to a domestic violence court order to possess a gun, was the first to test of how far the conservative court will go, and how precise the analog has to be.
