Negotiations among parties continue in Pak after polls; Israel launches air strikes in Rafah

In this episode of World Today, we will look into the continuously evolving political situation in Pakistan. Days after a split verdict in the national elections on February 8, several political parties in Pakistan are stepping up their efforts to form a federal government. While Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party-backed independent candidates dominated the election results, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) claimed to have enough numbers to form the government as some independents joined the Nawaz Sharif-led party post-polls. In other news, the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) launched an air strike in Rafah.
