No matter what anyone says... The Hamas-Israel talks held in Sharm El Sheikh resulting in a ceasefire in Gaza is the most important international development of the recent period.

Otherwise, the US President would not have rushed to Egypt and would not have been so eager to give the message that "I am the true architect of peace."

No matter how much Trump tries to use Gaza as personal PR material, everyone knows the truth... Behind the scenes, it is Recep Tayyip Erdoğan who has brokered this ceasefire, brought the US and Israel to the same table with HAMAS, which they have declared a "terrorist organization," and made them direct interlocutors.


Türkiye is now the guarantor nation of the Gaza agreement. In the words of President Erdoğan, "We will continue our struggle until an independent, sovereign, and geographically unified Palestinian state is established in Palestine, based on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital."

Because this isn't just a Palestine and Gaza issue anymore. A murderer and his team, so reckless they were ready to declare war on the world, were barely stopped by the US President's persuasion. But only for now. Israel is a country that hasn't honored any agreement it has ever signed. We must be hopeful for lasting peace, but we must remain cautious. There's no guarantee these murderers won't violate the ceasefire tomorrow.

Still, this isn't a day for pessimism. The oppressed people of Gaza, the children, will not die today. That's something. And a lot of things.

Donald Trump's victory in the 2024 US presidential elections and his second term in office has led to various expectations and concerns around the world. Trump's policies during his previous presidency and his campaign promises signal significant changes in international relations, the economy and security.


Trump is expected to re-embrace the "pragmatic isolationism" approach. Within the framework of this policy, there will be a decrease in the US's commitment to international agreements and alliances. It is likely that there will be tensions in relations with international organizations, especially NATO and the United Nations. In the Middle East, it is envisaged that security cooperation with Israel will be increased and a tougher stance will be taken against Iran.


As Trump emphasized during his election campaign, there are plans to increase import duties and renegotiate international trade agreements. It is thought that these steps could affect global trade dynamics and cause tensions in trade relations, especially with China and the European Union. In addition, policies aimed at protecting the US domestic market are expected to cause changes in global supply chains.


Trump’s promises to deport illegal immigrants and increase border security are raising concerns among immigrant communities and human rights advocates, and the implementation of these policies has the potential to impact U.S. relations with neighboring countries and the international community.


Trump’s plans to expand the use of fossil fuels and loosen environmental regulations will negatively impact efforts to combat global climate change, calling into question U.S. participation and commitments to international climate agreements.


Donald Trump’s second term as president will have significant impacts on diplomatic relations, trade policies, and global security balances around the world. The international community should closely monitor the Trump administration’s policies and be prepared for possible changes.

The year 2025 shows that the world will face various challenges and opportunities. Technology, environmental issues, international relations and economic developments will be some of the prominent topics of this year. So, what issues will occupy the world in 2025?


Acceleration of Technological Transformation

2025 will be a year in which the impact of AI and automation technologies on various industries will deepen. It may be a year in which advanced AI applications will revolutionize the early diagnosis and treatment of diseases, especially in the healthcare sector. However, we will witness a significant transformation of transportation systems with the proliferation of autonomous vehicles. The proliferation of blockchain-based financial systems and central bank digital currencies will create new paradigms in the global economy.


Environmental Challenges and Sustainability

The impacts of climate change will become even more evident in 2025. It will be a year when droughts, forest fires and extreme weather events will force states and the international community to take urgent action. While investments in renewable energy sources will increase, policies to reduce carbon emissions will become more transparent and effective. At the same time, the decisions taken by world leaders at the 2025 Climate Summit will shape the sustainability agenda of the future.


International Relations and Security

Changes in the global balance of power will be the center of attraction in the international arena in 2025. Competition between actors such as the US, China, the EU, and India is expected to gain new dimensions. In addition to competition in technology and economic fields, cybersecurity threats and the proliferation of artificial intelligence-based weapons systems will be among the priorities of international peacekeeping efforts.


Economic Uncertainties and New Models

As the world economies recover from the pandemic, the effects of digitalization and green economy will be felt in the economies of 2025. While income inequality increases in some regions, on the other hand, innovative steps will be taken to close this gap with social policies. In addition, the effects of artificial intelligence and automation on employment will continue to lead to significant transformations in the current labor market while enabling the emergence of new professions.


Social and Cultural Changes

The globalizing world, social media and digital platforms will continue to shape the daily lives of individuals. The advancement of distance learning technologies in education will force education systems to be redesigned globally. Younger generations will continue to take on more important roles in climate activism and social justice movements.


The year 2025 will be a year that brings with it both wild opportunities and serious threats. In this period when technology, climate change, international relations and social changes come to the fore, the decisions taken by world leaders and the collective efforts of individuals will shape our future.
