LATEST: In the worst flare-up of violence in 7 years, Israel launched airstrikes and Palestinian militants launched missiles overnight into Wednesday, killing 50+ people and injuring hundreds amid fears the conflict could spiral into all-out war.

nbcnews.to/3blTzmh
What started as weeks of tense clashes in Jerusalem has escalated into violent unrest on the streets of Arab Israeli towns and a deadly aerial conflict — 1,000+ rockets lit up the skies of Israeli cities while at least one residential building was leveled in the Gaza Strip.
Tensions flared after Israeli police used stun grenades and rubber bullets at worshippers at the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, located in east Jerusalem, an important holy site for Muslims and Jews.

BREAKING: Rep. Cheney removed from House Republican leadership for criticizing former President Trump’s election lies.
nbcnews.to/3y5Xiyg
Rep. Cheney told fellow House Republicans before the closed-door vote: “We cannot let the former president drag us backward and make us complicit in his efforts to unravel our democracy. Down that path lies our destruction, and potentially the destruction of our country.”
Rep. Cheney to @kasie: "I will do everything I can to ensure that the former president never again gets anywhere near the Oval Office. We have seen the danger that he continues to provoke with his language. We've seen his lack of commitment & dedication to the Constitution."

Uganda may have to wait to vaccine even its most vulnerable groups against Covid-19, delaying the prevention of vaccine-resistant variants.

“If any country thinks after vaccinating its population they are safe, it is a lie." (1/5) #NBCNewsThreads nbcnews.to/3bnIrpf
The delay has resulted in an extreme gap in Covid-19 vaccine distribution, with almost 1 in 4 people receiving a vaccine in high-income countries and a staggering 1 in more than 500 in low-income ones, WHO says. (2/5) nbcnews.com/specials/ugand…
@NBCNews followed a team bringing Covid-19 vaccine doses to remote regions of Uganda where there are enough vaccines to protect just 1% of its population of 45M people. (3/5) nbcnews.com/specials/ugand…

@tylerkingkade While protesters had some early victories — including a ban on racial profiling in Des Moines, and restoration of felons’ voting rights in Iowa — they’ve faced consequences.

Several are still awaiting trial, some on felony charges that could result in prison sentences.

JUST IN: Gov. DeSantis signs Florida's new voting legislation into law that enacts restrictions on voting by mail and at drop boxes. nbcnews.to/3tppf0j
DeSantis signed the bill, which was passed by the GOP-controlled legislature last month, live on Fox News' "Fox & Friends" during an interview.

Throughout the week, the governor had been holding more formal bill-signing ceremonies across the state as he signed bills into law.
The legislation enacts a host of changes, including limits on where drop boxes could be placed, restrictions on who can drop off a voter's ballot, a mandate that drop boxes be staffed while open, and a requirement that voters must request to vote-by-mail more frequently.

BREAKING: Former President Trump's Facebook ban upheld by Oversight Board. nbcnews.to/3xQ7smo
"The Board has upheld Facebook’s decision on January 7, 2021, to restrict then-President Donald Trump’s access to posting content on his Facebook page and Instagram account," Oversight Board says.
The decision to uphold the ban is a blow to Trump's hopes to post again to Facebook or Instagram anytime soon, but it opens the door to him eventually returning to the platforms. Facebook must complete a review of the length of the suspension within 6 months, the board said.
