A recent report highlights that Pakistan is increasingly becoming a haven for Hamas operatives, particularly following the group’s attack on Israel on October 7, 2023. Naji Zaheer, Hamas’s representative in Pakistan, has gained prominence at pro-Palestine events, sharing platforms with notorious terror organizations like Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Muhammad. His involvement in high-profile rallies and conferences signifies Islamabad’s apparent tolerance, if not endorsement, of Hamas’s agenda, raising concerns regarding Pakistan’s commitment to counterterrorism efforts. This situation poses a challenge to Pakistan’s credibility as a global counterterrorism partner, particularly in the context of its status as a U.S. Major Non-NATO ally, while also reflecting broader geopolitical implications for regional stability and security.
