The High Court of Cassation and Justice (ICCJ) overturned the Central Electoral Bureau's (BEC) decision to reject the United Right Alliance's registration for the June 9 elections, deeming it an abuse and a direct attack on democracy. Leaders from the Save Romania Union (USR), Force of the Right Party, and People's Movement Party (PMP) praised the decision, accusing the Social Democratic Party (PSD) of attempting to eliminate the alliance from the elections. The ICCJ also ruled that PMP must have a representative in the BEC, following a successful challenge against the BEC's initial decision.

The Taliban has reportedly banned women from pursuing nursing and midwifery education in Afghanistan, a move condemned by Afghan cricketers Rashid Khan and Mohammad Nabi, as well as the European Union. This decision, part of a broader pattern of restricting women's rights since the Taliban's return to power, has sparked significant backlash. The EU has urged the Taliban to reverse the policy, highlighting its detrimental impact on Afghanistan's humanitarian situation.

The article discusses the severe air pollution in New Delhi, India, and its economic and health impacts.

South Africa accuses Israel at The Hague for genocide in Gaza

Portuguese
| Conflict
South Africa has filed a complaint against Israel at the International Court of Justice in The Hague, accusing it of genocide in Gaza. The International Criminal Court is already investigating war crimes and crimes against humanity by both Hamas and Israel, with no action taken so far. South Africa's submission claims Israel's acts and omissions in Gaza are genocidal, violating obligations under the Genocide Convention. Israel, since October 7, 2023, has allegedly failed to prevent genocide and prosecute public incitement to genocide. South Africa seeks provisional measures from The Hague to halt the war and protect Palestinian rights under the Genocide Convention. Israel, rejecting the accusation, criticizes South Africa's claim as factually and legally baseless, accusing it of cooperating with the terrorist organization Hamas. Israel's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lior Haiat calls for the court to reject the request.

| International Politics
The South African Parliament has voted to close the Israeli embassy and suspend diplomatic relations with Israel until a permanent ceasefire is achieved in Gaza. The decision, driven by the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) and supported by the African National Congress (ANC), reflects South Africa's strong solidarity with Palestine, rooted in its own history of apartheid. The move has sparked controversy, with some supporting the pressure on Israel to negotiate, while others criticize it as undermining South Africa's role as a neutral mediator. The ANC is pushing for further actions, including an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The decision has drawn mixed reactions from various political and social groups within South Africa.
