Quick Glance: Netanyahu's Busy Schedule Hinders Communication with Sunak Post-RAF Assistance Against Iranian Attack

- Efforts are still underway to arrange a discussion between the two leaders, as Netanyahu is under significant domestic pressure to reject calls from the UK, the US, and the EU for restraint after Iran's attack.
- Sunak stated in the House of Commons on Monday that the UK is urgently collaborating with allies to de-escalate the situation and prevent further bloodshed, mentioning that he will communicate with Netanyahu 'shortly'.
- With Netanyahu's right-wing coalition partners pushing for substantial retaliation against Iran, Israel's western allies are advocating for caution and restraint to prevent a regional conflict.

apnews.com/article/britain-smoking-ban-0780fd4fc9afcdc002a0544252ef907a
Quick Glance: UK Lawmakers Support Groundbreaking 'Smoke-Free Generation' Bill
- The British government's plan for a landmark smoking ban to prevent young people from ever smoking passed its first hurdle in Parliament despite opposition from within Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's Conservative Party.
- The bill, announced by Sunak, would make it illegal to sell tobacco products to anyone born after January 1, 2009, creating one of the toughest anti-smoking measures in the world to establish the 'first smoke-free generation' in modern Britain.
- The bill also includes measures to crack down on youth vaping, such as banning the sale of cheap disposable vapes and restricting their flavors to prevent children from becoming addicted to nicotine.
- The number of people who smoke in the U.K. has declined by two-thirds since the 1970s, but approximately 6.4 million people in the country still smoke, accounting for about 13% of the population. Smoking remains the number one preventable cause of death, disability, and poor health.
He has been accused of trying to make life harder for people struggling with poor health. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/rishi-sunak-accused-full-assault-32624332

Paid articlePaidQuick Glance: IMF upgrades global growth forecast despite risks
- The International Monetary Fund slightly raised its global growth forecast on Tuesday, noting that the economy had proven 'surprisingly resilient' despite inflationary pressures and monetary policy shifts.
- IMF's chief economist, Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas, indicated that the global economy is heading for a 'soft landing,' with risks to the outlook now broadly balanced.
- While advanced economies are expected to lead the growth, dim prospects in China and other major emerging markets could impact global trade partners, according to the report.
- Despite Tuesday's brighter outlook, global growth remains low compared to historical standards, partly due to weak productivity growth and increasing geopolitical fragmentation.
