Mere supply of water to the city will not quench Karachi’s thirst. The supply has to be equitable and safe
I am a twitterholic. I use it to rant, to source information and to engage with interesting people. Of late, I have started posting what to most other people may seem mundane, but has supreme importance in my life. Like the day I received water in my pipeline. I have started noticing a pattern in such tweets. They occur once every 18-20 days. In between these days, I celebrate receiving a water tanker (that I pay for).
In Karachi, the haves and the have-nots have all experienced the equaliser known as the water shortage. The difference between the two demographics being, of course, the ability to purchase the diminishing resource by one as opposed to the other segment of population. This being the case also for most other services and commodities given the inequitable system we live under.

Will Pakistan Capitalize on a New Opportunity to Work with Israel?
Islamabad now has a strong incentive to quietly increase its relations with Jerusalem in ways that fall short of normalization. But
just because Pakistan has compelling incentives to increase ties with Israel doesn’t mean it will happen.
Last September, the Trump administration brokered the Abraham Accords, a normalization agreement between Israel and the United Arab Emirates. Similar bilateral accords between Israel and Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco have followed. A few more with additional Muslim-majority states that haven’t recognized Israel may be in the pipeline.
It’s not surprising, against this backdrop, that speculation has abounded about possible steps to improve relations between Israel and Pakistan. These are two very different countries that nonetheless share some striking similarities. Both were established on a religious basis, and they are surrounded by hostile neighbors and disputed borders.
