As #Argentina’s #Milei Closes A Door On #BRICS Another Opens The recent decision by #Argentina’s president-elect Javier #Milei to reject the invitation to join the #BRICS group of emerging economies has sparked a debate on the future of South-South cooperation. While some see it as a setback for the BRICS’ expansion and influence, others view it as an opportunity to explore new forms of partnership and integration among the #GlobalSouth. One such initiative is the proposal by Tierra del Fuego, the southernmost region of Argentina, to become part of the BRICS+ framework which encompasses various other regions of BRICS countries.

El bloque comercial #BRICS representa el 37% de transacciones globales, superando al #G7 El bloque comercial de los BRICS, que comprende a Brasil, Rusia, India, China y Sudáfrica, se ha convertido en una fuerza formidable en el panorama económico mundial, con un impacto significativo en las transacciones transfronterizas y el PIB. En los últimos años, el bloque ha sido testigo de un notable aumento en las interacciones comerciales, y ahora representa más de un tercio de las transacciones transfronterizas globales. Este aumento en el comercio ha impulsado el PIB colectivo de las naciones BRICS del 31,5% a un impresionante 37% de las transacciones mundiales, eclipsando la participación del G7 del 29,9%.

#BRICS Trade Bloc Accounts For 37% Of Global Transactions, Surpassing The #G7 The BRICS trade bloc, comprising #Brazil, #Russia, #India, #China, and #SouthAfrica, has emerged as a formidable force in the global economic landscape, with a significant impact on cross-border transactions and GDP. In recent years, the bloc has witnessed a remarkable surge in trade interactions, now accounting for more than a third of global cross-border transactions. This surge in commerce has propelled the collective GDP of BRICS nations from 31.5% to an impressive 37% of the worldwide transactions, overshadowing the G7's share of 29.9%.

Original article: https://korybko.substack.com/p/why-are-arab-countries-reluctant?utm_source=profile&utm_medium=reader2 The Jordanian Foreign Minister said that they believe that doing so would result in them being “seen as the enemy.” From there, one of two conclusions can be arrived at: either 1) they sincerely think they’d be regarded as occupiers by the Palestinians; or 2) there’s an ulterior motive at play that they don’t want to disclose. Jordan Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi said over the weekend that Arab countries won’t put boots on the ground in Gaza. His exact words were as follows: “Let me be very clear. I know speaking on behalf of Jordan but having discussed this issue with many, with almost all our brethren, there’ll be no Arab troops going to Gaza. None. We’re not going to be seen as the enemy.” Despite being just several brief sentences, Safadi revealed quite a lot about the Arab countries’ calculations towards this conflict.

Las Operaciones Militares de #Israel le otorgarán control del norte de #Gaza, pero no acabarán con #Hamas Dejando a un lado las relaciones públicas de cada facción sobre quién va ganando, está claro que los incesantes ataques aéreos israelíes han creado una enorme #crisis #humanitaria para los dos millones de #palestinos de #Gaza. Se observa que las operaciones militares de Israel parecen tener como objetivo principal el #norte de #Gaza. Los críticos argumentan que esto indica un interés estratégico en controlar esta área específica en lugar de tener la intención genuina de eliminar a Hamás en su conjunto. Al concentrar sus esfuerzos en el norte de Gaza, Israel puede tratar de establecer el control y limitar la influencia de Hamás en esta región. Las acciones de Israel en Gaza forman parte de un contexto geopolítico más amplio, ya que la provocación de Israel en la región pretende suponer una amenaza para la transformación en curso de Oriente Próximo, que se aleja de la influencia estadounidense y se dirige hacia un equilibrio de poder más #multipolar. La reparación de las relaciones entre naciones tradicionalmente hostiles, como #SaudiArabia, #Irán y #Siria, se considera un avance significativo que las acciones de Israel pueden poner en peligro.

#Israel's Military Ops Will Grant It Some Control Of Northern #Gaza But Won't End #Hamas Leaving aside each faction's public relations on who is winning, it's clear the incessant Israeli air strikes have created a massive #humanitarian #crisis for the two million #Palestinians in #Gaza. It is observed that Israel's military operations seem to primarily target #NorthernGaza. Critics argue that this indicates a strategic interest in controlling this specific area rather than genuinely intending to eliminate Hamas as a whole. By concentrating their efforts on Northern Gaza, Israel may seek to establish control and limit the influence of Hamas in this region. Israel's actions in Gaza are part of a larger geopolitical context as Israel's provocation in the region is meant to pose a threat to the ongoing transformation of the middle east away from US influence and towards a more #multipolar balance of power. The repairing of relations between traditionally hostile nations, such as #SaudiArabia, #Iran, and #Syria, is seen as a significant development that Israel's actions may jeopardize.

#China y #Nicaragua se enfocan en profundizar #integración #económica meses después de firmar #TratadodeLibreComercio La #relación entre China y Nicaragua se ha fortalecido en los últimos años, con la firma de varios #acuerdos de #cooperación en diversos campos.
