News Summary: International Conflicts, Government Measures, and Current Events in Chile
A recent investigation by Al Jazeera has revealed that 51 countries have supplied weapons to Israel during the conflict in Gaza. The report highlights that these arms exports continued even after the International Court of Justice warned of a plausible risk of genocide. This situation has sparked strong criticism of the international community for failing to effectively protect the Palestinian people.
In the Chilean national sphere, the Ministry of the Interior carried out a new mass expulsion flight with 80 migrants on a commercial aircraft. Undersecretary of the Interior Máximo Pavez noted that this is the third flight of its kind in the last 40 days under the administration of President José Antonio Kast. This action is part of the current government's border control and security agenda.
On the other hand, the Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning (Minvu) defended the demolition of social housing in the El Olivar sector. Undersecretary Natalia Aguilar explained that the measure is necessary due to critical structural flaws detected in the constructions. With this statement, the government responds to criticism from architects' organizations, ensuring that the safety of residents is the priority and that double standards in social housing are not permitted.
Regarding heritage and the environment, archaeologist Ángela Guajardo, from the Arqueología Urbana Chile platform, harshly questioned the president's discourse on heritage regulations. Guajardo accused the leader of "caricaturing" national heritage following his comments on environmental regulation processes. The expert defended the importance of protecting the country's history and identity against views that seek to reduce these issues to simple administrative obstacles.
In the world of sports, Colo Colo consolidated its position as the absolute leader of the First Division League after defeating Universidad Católica 2-1.

With this victory at the Claro Arena, the club known as the "Cacique" remains firmer than ever at the top of the standings.
