The United Nations General Assembly, in a Special Emergency Palestine session, voted on a draft resolution for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza. The resolution, presented by Egypt and supported by around 100 nations including Turkey, received 153 votes in favor, 23 abstentions, and 10 “no” votes. Israel’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Gilad Erdan, expressed concerns before the vote, stating, “This will only prolong the death and destruction in the region.”
Miguel Uribe, a 39-year-old Colombian senator and former presidential candidate, has died after being shot in a rally in Bogotá on July 7. The assassination attempt, carried out by a 15-year-old gunman, left Uribe critically injured with two gunshot wounds to the head and one to the leg. Despite undergoing multiple surgeries, Uribe succumbed to complications. His wife, Mara Claudia Tarazona, confirmed his death and thanked him for being a loving father. The 15-year-old suspect, arrested at the scene, denies the charges, and an investigation is ongoing into possible accomplices.
