Hamas leaders were given a VIP welcome in PoK, attending an “anti-India” conference on Kashmir Solidarity Day. They arrived in luxury SUVs, escorted by terrorists on bikes and horses, highlighting significant ties between Hamas and groups like JeM and LeT in promoting anti-India sentiments.
Recent viral videos depict Hamas leaders receiving a grand welcome in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), where they participated in an “anti-India” conference. The Hamas representatives arrived in luxury SUVs at the Shaheed Sabir Stadium in Rawalakote, flanked by terrorists from Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) on bikes and horses. As they entered, they were showered with petals, signifying the supportive context of the event.
The conference, held on February 5—known in Pakistan as Kashmir Solidarity Day—aimed to bolster anti-India sentiments. Noteworthy terrorist figures such as Talha Saif, a sibling of JeM leader Masood Azhar, and Jaish commander Asghar Khan Kashmiri were in attendance. Additional videos captured the Jaish and Lashkar militants conducting rallies on bikes and horses, brandishing flags associated with Hamas.
The relationship between Hamas and various terrorist organizations is steeped in a shared anti-Israel sentiment, which often aligns with anti-India agendas, particularly in regions such as PoK. Kashmir Solidarity Day exemplifies the use of propaganda by Pakistan to reinforce its narrative against India, often utilizing significant gatherings of militants to amplify their message. Both JeM and LeT have historically sought to foster alliances with entities that oppose India.
In summary, the reception of Hamas leaders in PoK underscores a continued collaboration among various terrorist factions aiming to promote anti-India narratives. The event reflects how such gatherings are leveraged to reinforce existing hostilities and solidarity among militant groups. This incident highlights the interplay between international terrorist organizations and regional conflicts, emphasizing the role of propaganda in extremist activities.
