Chile has officially joined a coalition of countries backing South Africa in its genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ). Chilean President Gabriel Boric announced the decision on Saturday, expressing deep concern over the "catastrophic humanitarian situation" in Gaza, particularly the impact on women and children. "Chile will become a party to and support the case that South Africa presented against Israel before the International Court of Justice in The Hague," Boric stated, addressing the National Congress. He strongly criticised the Israeli military for employing "indiscriminate and disproportional" force, emphasising that these acts demand a "firm and permanent response from the international community."

Labour's Darren Jones has criticized the prime minister for "not prioritising" the smoking ban in the final week of parliament. Rishi Sunak said he was "disappointed" his bill banning young people from ever being able to smoke legally will not pass before the general election.
The Tobacco and Vapes Bill is not included in the legislation being rushed through by MPs ahead of Parliament shutting down on Friday. "If we win the election on July the 4th, we will be setting out our own legislative plans in a Labour King speech in due course and we will list our priorities at that time," Mr Jones said.
