The question is no longer if but when the United States will support a ceasefire in the Gaza war. 

The jury is out on the degree to which the Gaza war threatens prewar efforts by Middle Eastern states to freeze their differences and focus on economic and security cooperation. 

The tumultuous path of Japan-South Korea relations in the late 2010s and early 2020s carried us through a tumultuous journey of trade conflicts, territorial disputes, and historical animosities. The two countries appeared to be locked in a continuous cycle of wars, making the prospect of reconciliation seem more like a distant dream than a possible reality. 

Chad’s Supreme Court will on Thursday declare definitive results of the country’s constitutional referendum that paves the way for a return to civilian rule. 

The Russian-Ukrainian conflict has evolved into a perilous nuclear game between Russia and the United States, each with distinct objectives. Russia seeks to deter direct U.S. and NATO intervention in the conflict, while the U.S. believes Russia won’t risk nuclear weapons use and provides robust military support to Ukraine. This dynamic has escalated tensions, raising the specter of nuclear war. 

Gaza is by far the most dangerous place in the world to be a child and deaths of youngsters from disease will likely surpass those from bombardment in the absence of a ceasefire, the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) warned on Tuesday. A lack of food, water, shelter and sanitation continues to put children’s lives at risk as they suffer under relentless airstrikes with no safe place to go, said UNICEF spokesperson James Elder, who recently returned from the enclave. 

BRICS is an intergovernmental organization comprising Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. It encompass about 27% of the world’s land surface and 42% of the global population. Brazil, Russia, India, and China are among the world’s ten largest countries by population, area, and GDP (PPP). All five states are members of the G20, with a combined nominal GDP of US$28 trillion (about 27% of the gross world product), a total GDP (PPP) of around US$57 trillion (33% of global GDP PPP), and an estimated US$4.5 trillion in combined foreign reserves as of 2018. 

The situation in Gaza has evolved into a multifaceted challenge that defies easy resolution. External interference, the absence of regional cooperation, and intense political disputes among international stakeholders have collectively fostered a state of “political inertia” within the international community. Consequently, international security mechanisms struggle to broker a meaningful ceasefire that adequately addresses humanitarian concerns.

The private security industry mostly entails Private Military and Security Companies (PMSC) which offer military services all around the world to national governments, international organizations and non-state actors in exchange for monetary profits. They engage in various activities, from conducting small training missions to deploying combat units comprising several hundred trained soldiers armed with some of the best weaponry, including tanks and attack helicopters. However, they not only work regarding battlefield operations, but also offer knowledge and strategies on how to attack and defend in different types of conflicts. 

Indonesia is the world’s largest archipelago with more than 17,500 islands. Stretched between the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, it is considered to be a ‘biodiversity hotspot’ ‘, enjoying vast tropical forests and marine habitats. However, this diverse climate and topography that blesses the country with plenty of natural resources, is also a major factor in making it one of the most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. 

I propose the resettlement the people of Gaza in the West Bank in exchange for the permanent withdrawal of Israeli settlements and the establishment of a sovereign Palestinian state. The new Palestine ought to be enfolded within a security arrangement overseen by Jordan, Israel, the US and other multi-lateral partners (e.g. UN, Arab League). A material aid package from the US or international working group will establish the foundations of a modern economy.
