The Middle East is becoming a crucial arena in the global power struggle. US-backed Israel’s aggressive policies against Palestinians, supported by Trump, are being viewed by BRICS countries and the Global South as attempts to maintain Western dominance. The BRICS summit in Rio called for a UN-led resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, emphasizing the need for a sovereign Palestinian state. US threats of economic sanctions against BRICS members signal a deeper geopolitical rift, suggesting a shift towards a multipolar world where emerging non-Western powers are challenging traditional power centers.
