The Corona virus epidemic is making headlines in many
parts of the world, and perhaps the reason is understandable.
Because this epidemic is affecting the whole world, many
questions are being raised about how to deal with this crisis, how to change
and manage our societies in the face of this epidemic and how to continue our
daily activities. Many global problems have been left
behind since the onset of the epidemic, and it may be too late to address them. Some problems have become more serious, while
some governments are using the Corona virus epidemic to divert attention from
their long-held aspirations. Here are
five global issues that need to be addressed in the coming days.
(1)
The Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, or Nuclear
Non-Proliferation Treaty, which bans long-range nuclear missiles, expires in
February next year. Time is running out if the treaty is to be renegotiated,
one of the last post-Cold War arms control agreements. Following the
termination of the agreement, a new global arms race is expected to begin due
to a lack of transparency and restrictions on arms procurement. In fact, the development of secret weapons,
such as high-velocity missiles, adds to the danger in this race. Russia appears to be ready again for the
deal, which will be a simple paperwork. However, President Trump's
administration seems to want to delay the inclusion of China in the agreement. China has no intention of joining the
agreement, so it is too late to write a new and comprehensive agreement. So if the United States does not change its
mind at the last minute, it seems that this New Start Agreement will become
history.

A good deal is about to be ruined by the issue of US
withdrawal from the JCPOA agreement, which seeks to curb Iran's nuclear activities.
The United Nations is currently facing a wide-ranging ban on the sale of
sophisticated weapons to Iran by various countries. But a ban on the sale of sophisticated
weapons to Iran expires on October 18 this year under a resolution passed in
support of the UN nuclear deal. Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has already warned that if the United States
succeeds in renewing the embargo, it will have "serious"
consequences. However, it is unlikely that Russia will agree to renew the arms
embargo, in which case President Trump would like European countries to work
out a mechanism for the nuclear deal so that the economic imposition on Iran
Restrictions can be maintained that will be lifted with the agreement expiring
this year. President Trump's strategy is not unique. The United States has
already withdrawn from the Iran nuclear deal and has been increasing pressure
on Iran ever since. Iran has also deviated from many of the terms of the
agreement. Now the United States is saying that Iran must abide by the
agreement with which the United States has withdrawn or face new sanctions.
According to a senior official in former US President Barak Osama’s
administration, this is an attempt by the Trump administration to "take
advantage." Relations between the
United States and Iran will deteriorate further and tensions between the United
States and its European allies will increase. And the ban on arms sales does
not significantly change Iran's regional approach, nor does it affect its
ability to use proxies.

Israel follows a power-sharing deal with a major Israeli
opposition political party Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has retained his post after a long series of
election campaigns ended. Despite pending lawsuits against them, and perhaps
because of them, Netanyahu is pursuing a controversial national agenda under
which Israel seeks to settle in the occupied West Bank in order to permanently
occupy that part of Israel. To be part of Apparently, this will put an end to
the debate on a "two state solution" between Palestine and Israel
forever. Despite the provisions in US President Donald Trump's peace plan, the
move is aimed at those who want a lasting peace between Israel and Palestine.
Wanting to see is losing hope. Palestinians themselves are already protesting
the issue, and other governments, including Europe, are urging caution, and in
some cases talking about possible sanctions if the policy goes ahead. As
always, America's position on this issue will be very important. Will he give
the green light to Israel to do all this or will he adopt a strategy to stop
it? It is clear that Prime Minister Netanyahu has been encouraged by President
Trump's decisions to annex Israel to the Golan Heights in occupied Syria and
move the US embassy to Jerusalem. However, the United States' current stance on
the move is unclear, suggesting that if Israel is willing to negotiate a
Palestinian state, the United States could conditionally support Israeli
settlements in the West Bank. Some experts believe that Netanyahu may find a
way to back away from his position after using the West Bank settlement issue
to mobilize nationalist support in the election campaign. Perhaps the Americans
will help them because hardline Israeli nationalists are not in favor of
tolerating a Palestinian state under any circumstances. But whatever it is, the
journey ahead will be difficult and arduous.

Many of us have forgotten the term Bridget, but time is
running out. The UK's transition period from the European Union will end on
December 31 this year. Negotiations on the terms of their future relationship
have begun temporarily, but there is no indication that Prime Minister Boris
Johnson's government is considering any delays or extensions in this
transitional phase. However, the Corona epidemic, which has sparked an economic
crisis that could take years to recover, has changed Bridget's entire outlook.
There are no signs of a resurgence of the old debate in the UK, but time is
running out. Although the initial reaction of the EU countries to the Code 19
crisis was not good, it has improved over time. The epidemic is not over yet
and the UK itself has not set a significant example in dealing with the crisis. Britain's exit from the EU will affect both
sides and may lead to a more consensual view of the nature of their future
relations. But in a recessionary and less hospitable world, it will be
difficult for Britain to make such economic and diplomatic decisions as to how
much to support the Americans or when to stand up to China.

The global response to the Corona epidemic is, in fact, a
measure of the global community's ability to tackle the larger and more complex
global challenge of climate change. If we talk about the joint cooperation of
nations, then in the light of the experiences of Code-19, so far mixed news has
emerged and the tensions that have arisen now are likely to remain in the
post-epidemic world. And will complicate matters further. It is one thing to
resume the "process" of talking about climate change, but it is
another thing to postpone the important UN meeting, the COP 26 Climate
Conference, which was to be held in Glasgow in November this year, until next
year. Has been given. But the question
that still exists is how will global thinking change? Even after the epidemic,
will the world think about the goals of climate change and its urgent need? And how long will the New World Order make
any progress on this important and extremely complex issue?
