The pledge made in the Abraham Accords for the resolution of the Israel-Palestinian conflict pales into eyewash when contrasted with the more forceful and compelling references to the issue in the earlier Accords which remain unimplemented. Would Israel feel any compulsion to implement its pledge this time around after achieving its purpose of securing recognition […]

It was on 27 December 2007, that we lost the national leader and iconic daughter of Sindh, Benazir Bhutto.
