Summary
The U.S. indicts former Cuban leader Raul Castro on murder charges. Iran is charging ships to pass through the Strait of Hormuz chokepoint – sometimes including fees for safe passage. Israel's parliament votes to dissolve itself pushing the country closer to a snap election Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu could lose, while a video of his far-right police minister Itamar Ben Gvir taunting flotilla activists on their knees with their hands zip-tied behind their backs, sparks international outrage. And Stephen Colbert signs off, ending the Late Show’s 33-year history.
