US vetoes UN resolution on Gaza ceasefire for not including hostage release
The United States vetoed a UN resolution calling for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, citing the lack of a condition for the release of hostages. The resolution, supported by 14 of the 15 Security Council members, demanded an immediate and unconditional ceasefire and the release of all hostages. The US, as a permanent member with veto power, blocked the resolution, emphasizing the need for explicit demands for hostage release. Meanwhile, the US Senate rejected Bernie Sanders' attempt to block offensive arms sales to Israel, amid concerns over civilian casualties in Gaza. In Lebanon, a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hezbollah showed progress, though Israel insists on retaining military action rights.

Altria Group, Inc., a major U.S. corporation in the tobacco industry, is challenging the effects of a 2017 law change that resulted in certain foreign subsidiaries of Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV being considered controlled foreign corporations (C.F.C.'s), thereby increasing Altria's tax compliance burdens and penalties.

Officials plan for new age of cyber threats to satellites
The article discusses the growing threat of cyberattacks on satellites, which could disrupt essential services like GPS navigation, communication, and weather forecasting. Unlike nuclear weapons, there are no global treaties banning cyberattacks on space systems, making the consequences less predictable. Russia is already exploring these capabilities, as evidenced by its 2022 cyberattack on Viasat during the Ukraine invasion. U.S. lawmakers and agencies are increasingly focused on bolstering space cybersecurity, with efforts including legislation, federal strategies, and the establishment of the Space Force. Experts argue for designating space systems as critical infrastructure to better manage and mitigate risks.

Updated federal tax guidelines generate momentum for CT offshore wind, Blumenthal says
Connecticut officials, including U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal, celebrated new tax incentives for offshore wind development at New London State Pier. These incentives, part of the Inflation Reduction Act signed by President Joe Biden, aim to support the industry amid inflation, interest rates, and supply chain challenges. The tax credit, which can reach up to 40% for developers in fossil fuel-dependent areas, coincides with Connecticut's search for new offshore wind contracts in collaboration with Rhode Island and Massachusetts, targeting up to 6800 megawatts. Cities like New Haven, Bridgeport, and New London could become prime locations for offshore wind development under these new guidelines.
