The 2026 elections in Israel are probably going to lead to a coalition government under the leadership of the Yashar party, not by the right-wing Likud Party that, together with its far-right and ultra-Orthodox Jewish allies, got 53 seats, amid conflicts with several parties. Though the formation of the Yashar-led government is not yet confirmed, its possibility is high.

Politicization takes place in government institutions and society in many countries. Sometimes it turns out to be intolerable and excessive, though it remains at a tolerable level in many countries. It takes place in developed, developing, or less democratic countries, including Myanmar, Brazil, and Mexico, but it is more common in authoritarian and less democratic countries. Politicization, the process of giving a political tone, character, or partisan interest to ideas, institutions, or facts, determines how public resources are allocated, how institutions function, and who gains access to resources and opportunities, impacting human development. But how much politicization will be addressed…
The parliamentary elections in Morocco led to the Authenticity and Modernity Party’s win. The party has already formed the government with the first female prime minister, Fatima Zahra El Mansouri. Due to the lack of a majority of seats in the election, held in September 2026, the PAM formed a coalition government with three other parties, including the Socialist Union of Popular Forces (USFP) and the Party of Progress and Socialism (PPS). There are various public expectations from the newly sworn-in government of Morocco — a constitutional monarchy. But how much the government can meet public expectations remains uncertain. Morocco…

An all-out war between the Yemeni government and the Houthis has led to concerns.

The government forces have already retaken several areas, including key positions near the Bab al-Mandeb, while the Houthis have carried out strikes on PLC targets. But how much the war will end remains uncertain. There is probably difficulty in addressing the reasons for the conflict…

The United Nations has contributed much to human development globally. Leaders from all over the globe have thronged to the UN General Assembly’s 81st session in New York. The UNGA is not the only branch of the UN. It has six branches, including the UNSC and ECOSOC. The UN, with all its branches, has been contributing to human development globally. But it has failed to do so as desired. Moreover, how much the UN can desirably facilitate human development remains uncertain. Human development indicates the development of human beings, the self of human beings. Human development is the realization of…
Saudi-Houthi conflicts have led to concerns. The two Arab parties have been carrying out cross-border strikes and exchanging fire in a sharp escalation over the last few days, leading to several deaths and the displacement of more than 100,000. Renewed conflicts started when the Houthis declared a complete naval blockade on Saudi-linked ships in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait in July 2026. But their renewed conflicts are taking place amid ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, including the Iran War and the renewed PLC-Houthi escalation. But — more importantly — how much the renewed Saudi-Houthi conflict will end still remains uncertain.…
