Welcome to Wednesday 👋 Here are three stories to know as we reach the mid-point of the week: 👉Israel advocacy organizations have spent roughly 100 times more on advertising via Meta’s social media platforms than pro-Palestinian groups, according to a POLITICO analysis, even as young Americans grow more critical of Israel. 👉The Biden administration is urging Israel to open a second Gaza crossing so more humanitarian aid can reach Palestinians, said U.S. officials and aid group leaders. Israel has so far rebuffed those requests. 👉Four Russian men accused of torturing an American during the invasion of Ukraine have been charged with war crimes, announced the DOJ — a case that’s the first of its kind.
