President Donald Trump has issued an executive order to designate several chapters of the Muslim Brotherhood as terrorist organizations. The order is a reflection of sustained lobbying by the United Arab Emirates and Israel, with support from other Arab governments. While the designation reflects regional geopolitical pressures more than U.S. domestic concerns, it will nevertheless create complications for Turkey and Qatar, both of which maintain close ties with the movement.

As geopolitical escalation intensifies across Eurasia, middle powers are facing more challenges—ensuring their national interests while not fixating on great powers’ shifting priorities. Situated far apart geographically, Turkey and South Korea rarely appear together in strategic discussions. However, the two countries share striking similarities. Both countries have built significant industrial capacities, face revisionist neighbors, act within the boundaries of the US-led alliance structure, yet maneuver more independently at the same time, pursuing strategic autonomy within the fragmented international order.

Ties between the United States and India have been traversing a rather slippery slope since the beginning of President Trump’s second term in power. The Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was among the leaders to receive an in-person meeting at the White House. However, compared to the previous U.S. administrations, the Trump administration’s approach toward New Delhi has been less accommodating.

Birleşmiş Milletler Güvenlik Konseyi (BMGK), 17 Kasım'da basında ABD Başkanı Donald Trump'ın adıyla anılan 20 maddelik Gazze "Kapsamlı Planı"nı onayladı (2803/2025). Buna göre geçici bir uluslararası istikrar gücü (International Stabilisation Force, ISF) kurulması ve Gazze’nin yeniden inşasını koordine edecek bir Barış Kurulu (Board of Peace, BoP) oluşturulması kabul edildi.

The foreign ministers of Turkey and Egypt met in Ankara on Wednesday for the first session of the Joint Planning Group. Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty was also received by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. Such routine meetings, which Turkey holds with many countries, provide a useful moment to review where relations stand and how current dynamics may shape future cooperation.

1990’ların başında Sovyetlerin dağılmasıyla birlikte, Türki cumhuriyetler bağımsızlıklarını kazandı ve Orta Asya yeniden jeopolitik bir hareketliliğe sahne oldu. Bu bölge artık yalnızca Rusya’nın değil, Çin’in, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri’nin ve hatta Türkiye’nin de ilgi alanında bulunuyor.

The bilateral relationship between Turkey and Israel have experienced its ebbs and flows, but since the war in Gaza, the trajectory has remained mostly downward. The Trump administration has so far exerted pressure on Israel and Turkey to settle their differences. Yet this does not mean that the worsening of relations with Israel comes without costs for Turkey.

Geçen hafta Hollanda’da yapılan genel seçimler, ilk bakışta “merkez partilerin dönüşü” olarak yorumlandı. Rob Jetten liderliğindeki liberal ve ilerici çizgideki Demokrat Parti (D66), meclisteki toplam 150 sandalyeden 26’sını kazanarak sandıktan birinci çıktı.

Ahmet Davutoğlu AKP döneminin en fazla tartışılan ve Türk Dış Politikasına en çok etki eden dışişleri bakanlarından biridir. Bunu olumlu veya olumsuz anlam yüklemekten ziyade bir durum tespiti olarak ifade ediyorum. Bugün bile Türkiye’nin Suriye politikasının getirdiği mülteci sorunundan dolayı Ahmet Davutoğlu kimi haklı kimi haksız gerekçelerle ağır bir şekilde eleştiriliyor.

When Dominic Cummings, former chief adviser to Boris Johnson, claimed that China had compromised the system used to transfer Britain’s most secret government data, it was more than a political bombshell — it was a reminder of how fragile the world’s most secure communication networks really are. According to Cummings, Beijing obtained “vast amounts” of classified information over several years, including “Strap” material, the UK’s highest level of secrecy.

Under the terms of Trump's 20-point Gaza peace plan, Hamas is expected to transfer control of Gaza first to an international body and eventually to the Palestinian Authority (PA). The Trump administration anticipates that Hamas will eventually wither away as this process unfolds. Ankara, however, may be reluctant to go along with this process.

Bazı ülkeler sanayiyle, bazıları ticaretle, bazılarıysa tarımla anılır. Ama Hollanda, bu üç alanda da derinleşmeyi başarabilen nadir yerlerden birisi. Küçük yüzölçümüne rağmen uzun zamandır Avrupa’nın geleneksel ticaretinde önemli rol almış olan Hollanda, ekonomik başarısını şimdi çiplerle, lazerlerle ve veri akışıyla sürdürüyor.
