Kamala Harris gave the last speech of the election campaign on Monday in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.

At the end of his public address, he said, "This campaign has brought together people from all walks of life in all corners of America."

He further said, “Our purpose is big – we started our journey with energy, optimism and joy. That's exactly how I'm teaching now.

He said to the young and new voters, I am telling you specially, I see your strength and I am proud of you.

America's current vice president knows that to win this year's election, he needs the support of young voters.

At the end of the campaign, singers Katy Perry and Lady Gaga serenaded the crowd before the arrival of Harris, the vice-president of the United States and Democratic presidential candidate.

On the other hand, Michigan had Donald Trump's scheduled speech. Republican supporters gathered for hours to hear his latest campaign speech.

Both candidates ended up in major states of the country. These states can play an important role in determining who will be the president of the country.

Voting has begun in the US elections. The national vote will determine the next president as well as the composition of the House of Representatives and the Senate.

Democratic candidate Kamala Harris and Republican candidate Donald Trump are competing for the post of president in this election.

Polls in the past few weeks have seen a tight battle between the two. Whatever the outcome of the vote, it will determine several policies, including US politics and foreign affairs, for the next four years. Voting began at 5 am local time in Vermont on the US east coast. Voters in Connecticut, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, New Jersey, New York and Virginia are also reported to have started voting.

Trump or Kamala, whoever sits on the US bill, what will happen to Bangladesh? This is also a big question in the current context of the South Asian country. Moreover, India or how much factor can be here? Or the chief advisor of the Bangladesh government. Muhammad Yunus with US politicians will play a role?

Analysts feel that the US election results are also an important factor for Bangladesh. The discussion has intensified especially around a tweet by Republican candidate Donald Trump.

Chief Advisor to the Government of Bangladesh. Muhammad Yunus has been on good terms with US politicians in the past, especially Democratic leaders.

Democrat administration emphasizes issues like democratic process, human rights around the world. Analysts believe that if Kamala Harris or the Democrats come to power, the business and cooperation areas will be easy for Bangladesh.

According to author Michael Kugelman, an expert on South Asia at the Uelson Center in the US, if Kamala Harris wins, the continuity and harmony of the current relationship will be maintained. But the situation may be different if Trump becomes president.

He thinks that Bangladesh is one of the countries in South Asia where important changes in the relationship between the two countries may come based on the results of the US elections.

"I don't think Donald Trump would support the current structure of the relationship," said Michael Kugelman. Where the United States is providing development, reform and other assistance or support to the country to ensure its stability. Trump and his administration will not be interested in a relationship that emphasizes US aid to Bangladesh.

M. Humayun Kabir, the former ambassador of Bangladesh to the United States, thinks that if Trump becomes president, the place of American humanitarian cooperation may decrease in the world. In that case, the Rohingya issue is also a big issue as a place of uncertainty for Bangladesh. Because most of the aid coming to Rohingyas in Bangladesh through the United Nations is from the United States.

Mehnaz Momen, a professor at Texas & M University in the United States, said that Donald Trump has not been seen as a traditional American president in the history of the United States. There is also uncertainty surrounding how he considers foreign policy positions. Usually, there is no major change in foreign policy even if there is a change of president. Behind this there is a strong role of US organizations or structures.

He added, "We've seen Trump talking about changing the institution in some of the campaigns." That could be a big change. However, there is doubt as to how far this will go or have an impact on the foreign policy space.

Recently, Donald Trump's tweet regarding the persecution of minorities has created a discussion in Bangladesh. But analysts see it as a political strategy to attract American Hindu voters in the elections rather than a future policy. Shafiqul Alam, the press secretary of the interim government's chief adviser, said that they think that some lobby groups may have tried to influence it from the point of internal American politics, and this statement came in that light.

There is also talk that lobby group means Awami League or India.

Although the United States initially took a strong stand on the acceptance of the past elections in Bangladesh, later India's support for the Bangladeshi government became a factor.

Recently, the press secretary of the chief adviser said that the Republicans and Democrats, along with the senior leaders of the two parties. As Muhammad Yunus is well connected and has friends in both camps, the outcome of this election will not affect the relationship between the two countries.

Although it is said that the Bangladesh-US relationship will not be affected by the government, Michael Kugelman believes that the reality may be different if Trump comes to power. He said Yunus had criticized Trump when he was elected in 2016. Their political ideals or ideologies are also different.

While speaking in 2016 at a university named HEC Paris, Dr. Yunus described Trump's victory as a 'solar eclipse' or a dark time, according to Heck's website. In addition, at another event at that time, when asked what he would like to say to Trump, he told NBC News that instead of building a 'wall', he should build a 'bridge' and liberalize his views. Yunus.

Mr. According to Kugelman, Dr. Kamala Harris won. Yunus will be an asset to US-Bangladesh relations. Because, like the Biden administration, Kamala will have a comfort zone. But if Trump wins, that relationship will face challenges.

In this regard, Professor Mehnaz Momen said, Kamala or Trump, whoever the president is, the interim government of Bangladesh must establish a place of reliability. After the change in the political pot, even if the next election will be late, when will it be, how will it be, what will be the steps, i.e. a roadmap should be presented. He felt it was important to ensure the current government's image of legitimacy and grounds for support.

However, Humayun Kabir and Mehnaz Momen also think that in the current situation of the world, there will be an opportunity for America to worry too much about Bangladesh.

There is a place of interest in the relationship between Bangladesh and the United States in various aspects such as trade, strategic, geopolitical. The United States refers to itself as a development partner of Bangladesh. Former Ambassador M. Humayun Kabir said that the United States is increasing its focus on the region, but in the geopolitical context, Bangladesh is a country with a large population who are quite active. Being at the junction of Asia with South East Asia and the Bay of Bengal, it has a geopolitical interest. Recently we are thinking about diversification from the military side as well. In that case, the US would be interested in selling weapons.

He also thinks that the United States has a place of interest in the field of trade considering Bangladesh as an 'emerging market'. M. Humayun Kabir mentions big power plant equipment, Boeing aircraft, gas or LNG as examples.

Besides, many people of Bangladesh live in America and go to study. Human-to-human relationships are also important. From a technical point of view, even if you go to use a credit card or a computer, it somehow benefits the US.

In foreign policy, the balance of interests with other countries of the world or with neighboring countries is generally important. However, for America, in the case of Bangladesh, the new equation is the relationship with Professor Yunus. These various factors will determine the future relationship of Bangladesh with the United States.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has fired the country's Defense Minister Yoav Galant.

Netanyahu said there was a 'crisis of trust' between them.

News BBC

In a statement announcing the appointment of Foreign Minister Katz as the new defense minister, Netanyahu said his trust in Gallant had "eroded" recently.

"The security of the State of Israel has been and will remain the goal of my life," Gallant wrote in a post on social media after his dismissal.

Netanyahu and Gallant had long had a strained relationship. The two have reportedly exchanged heated words over Israel's war strategy over the past year.

Gallant wanted to prioritize a hostage release deal with Hamas over continuing the war in Gaza.
Which Netanyahu rejected. Gallant was also unhappy with Israel's plans to exempt ultra-Orthodox citizens from military service.

Protests have already erupted in the streets of Tel Aviv over Gallant's dismissal, and Netanyahu's political opponents have called for larger protests involving the public.

Donald Trump, the Republican candidate for the US presidential election, has promised to bring peace to the world. But there is considerable doubt whether he was actually a pacifist. For this reason, the question has been raised whether Trump can restore peace in the war-torn world.

Trump was elected president in 2016. When he first came to power, he threatened to bomb Saudi Arabia and the Emirates as a countermeasure against the Saudi multinational force responsible for the genocide in Yemen. He threatened nuclear war with North Korea several times. The US conflict with Iran was at an extreme. Tensions rose in Venezuela. US military spending was increased in the Balkans and the Israeli-Palestinian war.

Trump has always encouraged war-violence abroad. He celebrated Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Moreover, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was fueled to attack Gaza and Lebanon. That Trump announced in an election rally last Friday, "We want peace on earth."
Trump often complains that his opponents are warmongers. He criticized Kamala Harris and said that killings will increase in the world if she becomes president. Even Kamala will lead the world to World War III.

Sarah Hagdusti, executive director of the advocacy group Win Without War, said Trump's presentation of himself as a pacifist candidate is completely absurd. Hagdosti said that when Trump was president, he tore up the nuclear deal with Iran and recklessly killed Iranian General Qassem Soleimani. This brings the United States to the brink of a devastating war with Iran.

Meanwhile, experts are concerned about the possibility of Trump's second term in power. They think that if Trump comes to power, Russia may extend its aggressive hand towards Europe. World peace will be in extreme danger. News from HuffPost.

Iran's firing of nearly 180 high-speed ballistic missiles at Israel indicates that Tehran intends to inflict serious damage in Tuesday night's attack. In that respect, this attack was different from the drone and missile attack carried out last April.

High speed ballistic missiles were challenging to target. But the fact that no one was killed in the attack in Israel and only one in the West Bank, according to initial reports, also points to a military failure. However, some of the missiles fired by Iran and parts of them hit the ground.

Iran's Imad and Gadar missiles used earlier this year are six times the speed of sound. They take 12 minutes to reach Israel from Iran. This speed is over 4,600 miles per hour. There, Iran said, this time it had deployed a faster hypersonic FATE-2 missile. The maximum speed of which is about 10 thousand miles per hour.

Two and a half years ago, Iran had approximately 3,000 ballistic missiles, as did the United States. This number will be higher now due to related reasons. Tehran wants to keep most of these missiles, in case Israel escalates the crisis and launches an all-out war.

Firing so many missiles in just a few minutes puts additional pressure on Israel's air defenses. This missile system is very advanced. Missiles launched from there to destroy Iranian missiles in the air are very expensive. It is not certain how much stock these missiles have.

Hamza Haroon Yousaf, Scotland's first Muslim Prime Minister, has resigned. He announced his resignation on Monday amid fears he could lose a no-confidence vote proposed by the opposition.

Hamza's party, the Scottish National Party, formed a government in Scotland in alliance with the Scottish Greens Party. However, his party, the Scottish National Party, broke up with this party recently. The opposition then called for two no-confidence votes to remove him from power. One against the First Minister and the other against the Scottish National Party government. Hamza can lose in these no confidence votes, it is quite certain. So he announced his resignation before the vote of no confidence.

In a speech on Monday, Hamza said, "I don't want to trade my values and principles." Or do not want to make deals with anyone to retain power. Earlier this month, Hamza said he was confident of winning the no-confidence vote called by the opposition. However, by Monday, the possibility of negotiating with other parties to strengthen his minority government became uncertain.

Hamza Yousef of Pakistani origin was elected the leader of the ruling Scottish National Party (SNP) in Scotland last year. He then replaced former First Minister Nicola Sturgeon. Hamza became the first Muslim First Minister in the history of Scotland. Hamza was born in Glasgow, Scotland. However, his ancestors migrated to Scotland from Punjab, Pakistan in the 1960s. Although his father Muzaffar Yusuf was born in Pakistan, his mother Saista was born in Kenya. Source: Don.

The United Nations International Criminal Court (ICC) is going to issue arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and several Israeli political and military leaders on charges of genocide and violations of international law in the Gaza Strip.

But lawyers in the US, Israel's Justice Ministry and the army are working hard to prevent that from happening. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer, the United States and other Western countries are also trying to convince Karim Khan, the prosecutor at the International Criminal Court in The Hague, to delay or prevent the issuance of the warrant. But it is not clear how successful they have been.

Israeli officials say they expect warrants against Prime Minister Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Galant and Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Harzal Halevi to be issued sometime this week. Officers below them will be spared.

Unlike the International Court of Justice, which hears cases filed by South Africa against Israel, the ICC handles cases against individuals. Like the United States, India, China, Russia, Iran and most Arab countries, Israel recognizes the authority of the International Court of Justice but not the ICC.

If a warrant is issued, each ICC member state (123 in total) is obliged to arrest and extradite the accused to The Hague if they enter their territory. Although there is no way to appeal international arrest warrants, any country could theoretically tell the court that it is handling the case itself.

According to former Deputy Attorney General Roy Schondorff, the issuance of an arrest warrant could lead to actions against Israel such as an arms embargo or economic sanctions. "These warrants will group Israel with countries deemed violators of international law and will come on top of all other cases against Israel," Schondorff said.

Arrest warrants have never been issued against Israeli officials. But in March 2023, the ICC issued a warrant against Russian President Vladimir Putin as part of an investigation into possible Russian war crimes in Ukraine. As a result, Putin cannot travel to countries where he thinks he might be arrested. Source: Haaretz.
