It’s hard to believe that the Biden administration’s letter suggesting that military aid to Israel could be halted unless humanitarian aid flows into Gaza isn’t tied to the upcoming U.S. elections.
The election outcomes between former President Donald J. Trump and current Vice President Kamala Harris represent divergent paths that will reshape domestic policies and international approaches to climate change, energy production, and sustainable development policymaking
President Biden’s final UN speech of his political career coincides with perhaps the least effective period in American diplomacy. Since October 7, the Biden administration has stood by as Israel’s actions have severely damaged American diplomatic credibility in the eyes of the “international community.”
The war in Ukraine will determine the future trajectory of Europe, yet the continent's actions will be equally influential
Why Is Kamala Harris Distancing Herself from Immigration?
In the U.S. presidential elections, while the economy stands out as the most important issue influencing voters, the importance of immigration has been on the rise in recent years. The record number of crossings at the Mexican border in 2023 made this issue one of the country's top priorities. Republican criticism of the Biden administration's so-called 'open border policy' has been quite effective. Actions taken by Republican-led states like Texas and Florida, such as sending migrants to Democratic states like New York and Massachusetts via buses and planes, kept the issue in the spotlight. As many small towns struggled with strained municipal services and budgets due to the influx of new migrant populations, immigration and the border crisis became key topics in the presidential elections.

A depressing comparison of Kamala Harris and Donald Trump
The United States will go to the elections on Nov. 5, and many internal and external observers for weeks have been discussing the political positions and discourses of the two candidates, Donald Trump representing the Republicans and Kamala Harris representing the Democrats.

Surely, the Nov. 5 elections will certainly be a very interesting one. Although the presidential race is an internal affair of the U.S., all governments around the world will closely watch the presidential elections wondering who will become the next president of the U.S. since it is still considered the most powerful state and hegemon of the world.

What are Trump and Harris’ positions on AI? How might each of their policies influence the United States’ role in AI development and regulation on the international stage? How Should Türkiye Respond to Respective Policies?
Israel has been subjecting Gaza to a total blockade and heavy bombardment for more than a week. While the non-Western world speaks out against those measures, U.S. President Joe Biden offered his unconditional support to Tel Aviv – a development that threatens to cause the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to result in more devastation.
For a considerable period, Türkiye and Syria have engaged in discussions aimed at reshaping their bilateral relationship into a new framework. Most recently, a diplomatic meeting took place in Moscow in April involving foreign ministers from both countries, along with Russia and Iran. However, since April, the trajectory of these talks has become increasingly uncertain. This uncertainty has been shaped by the complex nature of the Syrian conflict, the divergent priorities of the external actors, the strategically ambiguous behavior of the Bashar Assad regime and the lack of capacity of the state of Syria. Other dynamics exist that make the talks between Türkiye and Syria more difficult to reach the real objectives of the negotiations process.
