The director of a hospital there said that it had received 100 injured people overnight, along with the bodies of 52 who were killed. The Gazan health ministry said that at least 67 people had been killed overall, a number that could not be independently verified. The rescue came as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu signaled that Israeli ground forces would soon enter Rafah, despite criticism and concern from the U.S. and other allies. The prospect of street battles inside the city, which is bracketed by a closed Egyptian border, has created worldwide alarm over the risks to civilians.

These two separate legal threats represent a turning point in Trump’s courtroom odyssey, and they could reshape his personal and presidential fortunes as he barrels toward the Republican nomination. On Thursday, one judge may schedule the first criminal trial of a former U.S. president for as early as next month. That possibility raises the specter that Trump might end up behind bars, which would send the country’s already bitter politics into uncharted realms. The next day, a second judge is expected to deliver a ruling in a civil fraud case that doesn’t threaten Trump’s freedom, but would drain his cash and undercut his family business. The judge is weighing a request to penalize Trump hundreds of millions of dollars and sever him from the company he ran for decades. What else: Trump’s legal troubles don’t stop in New York. He faces 91 felony counts across four criminal cases. Also on the civil front, he must contend with the $83.3 million he owes from a recent defamation case.

Stadiums have been a cornerstone of China’s diplomatic reach into Africa since the 1970s. Their number has increased since the early 2000s, part of a Chinese strategy to build infrastructure in exchange for diplomatic clout or access to natural resources. The arenas are popular with African fans and are typically donated or financed through soft loans. But the stadiums often lack the infrastructure to support them. Critics have questioned the value of the projects, noting they deliver dubious long-term economic benefits. Maintenance costs are significant, and some have fallen into disrepair. Countries often struggle to fill the seats. “China doesn’t ask why you need a stadium,” a researcher said. “It just finances and builds it.” RECOMMENDATIONS [A circular cake covered in multicolored glitter and frosting.](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRnrQwCP0T8aHR0cHM6Ly9jb29raW5nLm55dGltZXMuY29tL3JlY2lwZXMvMTAyMjg1MS1jYXJhbWVsaXplZC1hcHBsZS1raW5nLWNha2U_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NyZlbWM9ZWRpdF9tYmFlXzIwMjQwMjEyJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTExNDk5OSZubD1tb3JuaW5nLWJyaWVmaW5nJTNBLWFzaWEtcGFjaWZpYy1lZGl0aW9uJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xNTgwMTAmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmW6AofKZVuEfqlSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAw~~) Beatriz Da Costa for The New York Times.
