“Israeli troops took control of the Rafah border-crossing area in Gaza on Tuesday morning, with Hamas saying all aid flows from Egypt had stopped,” Bloomberg reports.
New York Times: “Surveys taken in recent months show young voters are more likely to sympathize with Palestinians in the conflict, but few of them rank the Israel-Hamas war among their top issues in the 2024 election.
