Quick Glance: US Blocks UN Resolution for Palestinian Full Membership

In the Security Council, 12 countries voted for a UN resolution recommending full Palestinian membership, with the US opposing and two countries abstaining.

The US argued that Palestinian membership should result from negotiations between Israel and Palestinians to enable a two-state solution.

The Palestinian delegation emphasized that UN membership is a crucial step for peace in the region and criticized the Israeli government for its rejection.

Israel rejected the resolution and warned of its potential impact on future dialogues, especially in light of the recent escalation of violence in Gaza.

startribune.com/cigarettes-at-15-per-pack-minneapolis-might-do-it/600359377/

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.

Quick Glance: Ecuadorean President Noboa seeks support for security measures in upcoming vote

Ecuador's President Daniel Noboa is aiming for voter support for a range of security measures in a national referendum on Sunday to address the increasing violence that has garnered international attention.

Noboa is urging voters to support joint police-military patrols, the extradition of wanted criminals, longer sentences for terrorism and murder, and other crimes to combat the rising violence attributed to drug gangs.

Opinion polls suggest that voters are likely to support Noboa, 36, in the 11-question referendum, despite potential dampening of support due to recent power outages. Passing five of the measures would lead to constitutional modifications.

Over the past decade, cocaine-smuggling gangs have spread across every corner of Latin America, transforming once peaceful nations like Ecuador into new battlefields, as indicated by security officials and diplomats.
