For those hoping the election might change Israel’s current trajectory, the deeper issue is that Naftali Bennett and many of his prospective allies share most of Benjamin Netanyahu’s strategic goals, I report. scmp.com/week-asia/poli…

@DanQayyum Both Karachi and Lahore are overrated and living off past culinary glories IMO. They still have their strengths of course, like Karachi's biryani and Lahore's cholay, but it's all become so homogeneous and boring. That's why I think the best food is in Peshawar.

I love Lahore but something about calling it Pakistan's food capital has always felt lazy to me. Is a food capital where people eat the most, or where the food is actually the best? Asking because Karachi's biryani alone wins on the latter
