The continuing violence has severely undermined confidence in the U.S.-backed truce among Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip.

Economy-based foreign policyTarique Rahman, chairman of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party, explicitly stated in an interview with The Diplomat magazine that his party would pursue an 'economy-based foreign policy' if elected to power. He emphasized a 'Bangladesh First' approach that would prioritize national interests in all foreign engagements. Rahman stressed that Bangladesh's foreign relations would be built on principles of mutual trust, mutual respect, and mutual benefit with other nations. This stance was presented as a contrast to criticisms that the previous Awami League government under Sheikh Hasina pursued an 'India-oriented foreign policy'. Multiple opinion polls ahead of the February 12 elections suggested Rahman was likely to become Bangladesh's next prime minister.
