Pakistan, Hamas Link Kashmir Terrorism to Israel Conflict

Tensions between India and Pakistan are escalating, with Pakistani Senator Irfan Siddiqui accusing Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi of emulating Israeli policies in Kashmir and warning that any Indian move to cut Pakistan's water supply would be considered an act of war. The rhetoric comes amid growing parallels being drawn between the recent Pahalgam attack in Indian-administered Kashmir and Hamas's October 7 assault on Israel, with Indian intelligence citing increased cooperation between Hamas and Pakistan-based militant groups such as Jaish-e-Muhammed. Intelligence sources report multiple visits by senior Hamas officials to Pakistan, including meetings at militant headquarters and Pakistani military facilities, as well as public events linking the Kashmiri and Palestinian causes. These developments reflect a broader narrative in which both sides are framing their conflicts as interconnected struggles against occupation, adding to the volatility between the nuclear-armed neighbors.
