Pak. Army Training Terrorists In Hamas: Ex Pak Envoy Raja Zafar Ul Haq
(This was originally posted in Republic World by Ananya Varma)
Pakistan is training terrorists in Hamas and fighters of the Palestinian militant group are receiving their military training from the country’s Army, claimed former Pakistan Envoy Raja Zafar ul Haq.
In a sensational revelation, the senior Pakistan MP shared that the co-founder of Fatah in Gaza– Abu Jihad had told him that most Hamas fighters had received military training by the Pakistan Army. Raja Zafar ul Haq also claimed that the Pakistan Army had a Commando Unit specifically stationed in Gaza for the cause.
Reacting to the report Major General A K Siwach (Retd) spoke to RepublicTv where he lashed out at Pakistan for priding itself in creating and breeding terrorism. “Pakistan is known for doing such things. It can go to any extent, All these LeT and JeM terrorists trained by Pakistan Army are fighting in Afghanistan, along with the Taliban. You can’t rule out the possibilty. Pakistan is ‘terroristan’ and takes pride in creating terrorists. It claims it’s a victim of terrorism but it itself has created terrorism all over the world. They can not play a victim card, it is part of the problem and not the solution. Out of the 100s of international terrorists declared by the United Nations, so many reside in Pakistan, that is the track record of the country.”
Pakistan calls for ‘jihad’ in Israel
Even during the escalating tensions between Israel and Hamas, and the violence intensifying between the two nations, Pakistan Parliament had openly called for waging ‘Jihad’ against Israel. At a time when the global community was seeking a ceasefire to put an end to the weeks-long violence which was moulding into a global war-like situation, Pakistan in its Parliament was adding fuel to the fire calling for its children to be dedicated to the cause.
In the Parliament, Prime Minister Imran Khan-led PTI’s legislator Asma Qadeer remarked that all ‘our children will be dedicated to jihad’ against Israel. The PTI leader claimed that Israel has been ‘torturing’ women and children, and to fight back, Pakistan needed to wage ‘jihad’ against Zionists.
In a video that came to light, Asma Qadeer can be heard saying, “What Israel is doing to our brothers and sisters over there, it should be certain now that other than jihad there is no other solution. The way they are torturing our children and women, I am with you. I will be the first one to go on jihad. Put my name first. I will go and save my Palestinian brothers and sisters from those who have crossed all the limits of humanity.” The Pakistan leader had not even spared the US for backing Israel in the war calling Vice President Kamala Harris ‘a disgrace on womanhood.’ Asma Qadeer had also used unsuitable words against Harris for ‘not backing America but India’s stance on the issue.’
