New Delhi: Amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, Pakistan's leaders held a significant meeting with the head of the Palestinian terrorist organization, Hamas. During the meeting in Qatar on November 5, 2023, led by Maulana Fazlur Rehman, the chief of Pakistan's religious party Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Pakistan (JUI-F), the Kashmir issue was raised. The meeting between Pakistani leaders and Hamas leaders, Ismail Haniya and former chief Khalid Mashal, brought to light the comparison of the situations in Palestine and Kashmir.

Hamas's Controversial Comparison
During the meeting, the chief of the terrorist organization Hamas made a provocative statement by drawing parallels between the injustices faced by people in Palestine and Kashmir. He claimed that the oppression in these regions was a stark contradiction for countries that often condemn others for human rights violations. Hamas, known for its aggressive stance and actions in Gaza, is now using Pakistan's influence to advocate for Kashmir, raising eyebrows.

The Dire Humanitarian Crisis in Gaza
As media reports reveal, the situation in Gaza has deteriorated significantly due to the ongoing conflict. Hospitals in Gaza are reportedly overwhelmed, with a surge in the number of injured individuals, resulting in a lack of available beds. Moreover, it's been suggested that Hamas fighters have sought refuge in many of these hospitals, exacerbating the crisis.

Pakistan's Open Support for Hamas
Pakistan's open support for Hamas is evident through rallies held across the country in solidarity with Palestine and Hamas. Maulana Fazlur Rehman's meeting with Hamas leaders in Qatar is seen as an attempt to garner support from Arab countries and rally behind the cause of Gaza.

Human Rights Concerns
It is striking that Hamas, a group known for its violent actions in Israel, is now expressing concerns about human rights. Khalid Mashal, a Hamas terrorist, likened the situations in Kashmir and Palestine to a slap on human rights. However, this comparison overlooks the relative stability in Kashmir, where peace and progress are taking shape.

Meeting Amid Escalating Conflict
The meeting between Hamas leaders and Pakistani religious figures occurred against the backdrop of escalating tensions, with Israeli fighter jets conducting airstrikes on the Gaza Strip. The conflict, which started with Hamas's attacks on Israel, has claimed the lives of over 9,770 Palestinians, including 4,800 children, since October 7.

The meeting between Pakistani leaders and Hamas chiefs has raised questions about Pakistan's stance on the Israel-Palestine conflict and its approach to addressing the complex issues surrounding the region. The situation in Gaza continues to worsen, with the common people facing severe hardships while the leadership of Hamas remains entrenched in its fight. The international community remains watchful as the conflict unfolds.
