This is why Malaysian govt has refused to blame the Indonesian govt publicly for the haze. It doesn't have the time to get into a petty fight like this with Indonesian politicians. Wait until ASEAN summit in Nov, then Indonesia is going to get told 'politely' about it. – at Petaling, Selangor

It was an honour for @GirtonCollege, @Cambridge_Uni to host #Oman's Foreign Minister, @badralbusaidi. The Minister offered a vision for a way out of today's conflict: an inclusive regional non-aggression pact involving all 8 Gulf countries (GCC + Iraq and, crucially, #Iran).

Enjoyed meeting UCL students in London today.
We discussed the major transformations and challenges shaping our world, Oman’s vision on key regional and international issues, and their implications for security and stability. We also reflected on the challenges facing young people, particularly climate change, food security, and economic and social inequality. A thoughtful conversation on the issues of our time.

L.K. Advani ji remained actively involved in politics until 2019. He served as the LS MP from Gandhinagar from 2014 to 2019 and retired at the age of 91.
This is the real blueprint for PM Modi:
Stay fit, and he still has 15 prime years ahead.
Modi Kahin Nahi Jayega Till 2041.

Polls suggest the Overton window in Israel has shifted so farther right that it will make Bibi look like the moderate.

📸 #لندن | قام معالي السيد بدر بن حمد بن حمود البوسعيدي @badralbusaidi وزير الخارجية، مساء اليوم، بزيارة إلى مقر البرلمان البريطاني في العاصمة لندن، وذلك تلبيةً لدعوة من عضو البرلمان إيميلي ثورنبيري، رئيسة لجنة الشؤون الخارجية، وممثلين عن مجلس التفاهم العربي البريطاني.
والتقى معالي السيد خلال الزيارة، مع معالي السير ليندسي هويل، رئيس مجلس العموم البريطاني، حيث جرى التأكيد على أهمية تعزيز علاقات الصداقة والتعاون القائمة بين سلطنة عُمان والمملكة المتحدة، وتوطيد أواصر التواصل والتفاهم بين البلدين الصديقين، بما يدعم الشراكة الثنائية ويعزز آفاق التعاون في مختلف المجالات.
وجرت الزيارة في سياق العلاقات العُمانية البريطانية الراسخة، وما تشهده من زخم متجدد في أعقاب زيارة الدولة التي قام بها حضرة صاحب الجلالة السلطان هيثم بن طارق المعظم، حفظه الله ورعاه، إلى المملكة المتحدة خلال الأسبوع الماضي، بما يفتح آفاقاً أوسع وأرحب للشراكة الثنائية في مختلف المجالات، ويعزز قنوات التواصل على المستويين السياسي والمؤسسي.
كما تعكس الزيارة أهمية البُعد البرلماني في العلاقات الثنائية، ودوره في ترسيخ جسور الحوار والتفاهم، وتعزيز التقارب في الرؤى بشأن القضايا الإقليمية والدولية ذات الاهتمام المشترك، بما يخدم المصالح المتبادلة ويدعم جهود الأمن والاستقرار.

Spoiler alert - Even if he loses the bulk of his seats, Benjamin Netanyahu will still be Israel's Prime Minister next week.
As a caretaker PM, he could remain in office for weeks, perhaps months.
A record number of Israelis have come out to choose their new government. Polls close at 10pm local time (8pm UK).
Official results should be published on 4 November.
