A senior Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) commander operating from Pakistan openly admitted links with Hamas, a Middle Eastern group at odds with Israel. Both US-designated terrorist groups have met to explore greater cooperation. This comes as US President Donald Trump proposed sending Pakistani troops to Gaza under his ‘Board of Peace’ initiative to stabilize the region. Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif accepted this plan. In a video, the LeT-linked Pakistani Markazi Muslim League commander said he met Hamas leaders in Doha in 2024. The US-based Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) reported that the Hamas-LeT-Jaish-e-Mohammad nexus on Pakistani soil threatens regional peace and Western security. The Board of Peace was formed on January 15, 2026, to promote governance and peace in Gaza. On January 18, Trump invited Sharif to join. But Pakistan still lets Hamas operate openly, weakening Western efforts to isolate the group. The growing Hamas-LeT partnership worries India, Israel, and the US. While the world focuses on disarming Hamas in Gaza, Pakistan may become a safe base for the group to rebuild. Months ago, LeT suffered a setback in India’s Operation Sindoor when India struck its Muridke base. LeT may now look for new bases further from India. LeT commander Faisal Nadeem’s admission points to a new terror front. He confirmed attending meetings with Hamas leaders and Pahalgam attack mastermind Saifullah Kesari in Doha. Videos from January 2026 show Hamas and LeT members together in Pakistan, confirming the strong link. This new terror nexus is a growing concern for global security as Pakistan hosts and supports groups targeting both India and Israel.
