Pakistan’s Status Quo Shaken in October

As October unfolds, both the Middle East conflict and Pakistani politics are at a crucial juncture that will shape the future for the next few years. In the Middle East, Israel’s aggressive actions in Lebanon and southern Lebanon have escalated tensions, with Iran-led resistance providing the only opposition. The situation remains volatile, with Israel poised for a ground invasion of Lebanon, challenging Hezbollah’s dominance.

In Pakistani politics, the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn the verdict on floor-crossing members has sparked controversy, potentially impacting the government’s future. The proposed constitutional amendment to establish a Federal Constitutional Court is seen as an attempt to curb opposition and stifle judicial independence.

With Imran Khan urging supporters to protest against the government’s actions, the political landscape is tense. As protests gather momentum, the government faces challenges in passing key amendments. The coming days promise further upheaval in both Pakistan and the Middle East.
