A classified intelligence assessment shared with WARYATV reveals growing alarm within Western and Israeli security circles that Pakistan has quietly become Hamas’s newest operational theater, with senior Hamas envoys now openly conducting propaganda, recruitment, and coordination activities across Pakistani soil — often with the implicit blessing of political and religious elites.
At the center of this disturbing network is Naji Zaheer, Hamas’s “special representative” in Pakistan.
Once a fringe figure, Zaheer has, since the October 7 2023 massacre in Israel, emerged as a fixture on Pakistan’s Islamist circuit — appearing at rallies alongside leaders of Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Muhammad, both U.S.-designated terrorist organizations.
His appearances blur the line between political activism and terror coordination.
According to sources briefed on Western monitoring reports, Zaheer’s movements across Peshawar, Karachi, and Rawalakot follow a deliberate pattern: fusing Hamas’s anti-Israel narrative with Pakistan’s jihadist grievances, particularly over Kashmir.
The February 2025 “Kashmir Solidarity and Al-Aqsa Flood Conference”, which gathered Hamas, Pakistani legislators, and Kashmiri militants under one banner, is now viewed in Washington and London as the symbolic moment Hamas and Pakistan’s jihad ecosystem formally merged.
Even more concerning is the role of Pakistan’s Senate, which in early 2024 hosted Hamas representatives including Khaled Qaddoumi, Hamas’s envoy in Tehran.
Intelligence officials say this level of access “would not have been possible without tacit government consent.” The optics — Pakistani lawmakers applauding a movement the West labels a terrorist organization — have badly damaged Islamabad’s standing with counterterror partners.
“Pakistan is no longer just a sanctuary for the Taliban — it’s fast becoming Hamas’s external incubator,” one senior European counterterrorism official told WARYATV on condition of anonymity. “This is not rogue clerics; this is systemic political cover.”
Western security sources are now assessing whether Hamas’s outreach in Pakistan is being quietly backed by Iran’s Quds Force, using Pakistani territory as a safe communications hub and potential recruitment pipeline.
Analysts warn this could compromise Pakistan’s Major Non-NATO Ally status and trigger sanctions under U.S. counterterrorism laws.
Britain’s intelligence community has reportedly begun examining financial flows between Pakistani religious charities and Hamas-linked organizations in Malaysia and Turkey.
U.S. officials, meanwhile, are evaluating whether Pakistan’s tolerance of Hamas envoys violates the FATF (Financial Action Task Force) anti-terror financing obligations that Islamabad only recently escaped.
This would mark a strategic shift: Hamas, bloodied in Gaza, exporting its ideology eastward to rebuild through South Asian Islamist networks.
For Islamabad, the cost could be immense — diplomatic isolation, suspended aid, and renewed counterterror blacklisting.
For now, the message from Western intelligence is blunt: “If Pakistan wants to remain a partner in the fight against terror, it cannot host its architects.”
