BREAKING: Pahalgam Mastermind Is Now Reportedly Issuing Threats Against Pakistan | News18

Added: 2026-05-30

[00:00:04]We're getting some updates now. Remarks by Lashkar-e-Taiba deputy chief Saifullah Qasuri where he has rejected any recognition of Israel and has portrayed Pakistan Saudi defense ties as part of a larger Islamic front against the Jewish state. Now, these statements have raised fresh concerns over how extremist narratives are increasingly echoing Pakistan's geopolitical positioning on Israel. Saifullah Qasuri, described by top Indian intelligence sources as the mastermind of the Palgam terror attack, issued this strongly worded warning of sorts against any Muslim ruler or country from accepting Israel. This, of course, is also happening in the backdrop of US demanding that Muslim countries all adopt the Abraham Accords. My colleague Siddhant Mishra is also joining us.

[00:00:49]Siddhant, tell us more of what we're learning.

[00:00:52]>> Well, that's right. So, this is a Manoj Gupta story and Manoj is bringing for us that the deputy chief of Lashkar-e-Taiba and Palgam attack uh mastermind Saifullah Qasuri strongly rejects any potential recognition or acceptance of Israel by any uh ruler or king. He threatened that anyone who does to will face total destruction. So, this warning is not only uh for Pakistani leadership, but this warning is for whole of uh Islamic countries uh in the Gulf. Now, uh uh Saifullah says that uh uh that that enmities, hostilities, war, fighting and trying to bring each other down. This process chain of battles and enmities has begun between us and it will last forever until you unite with us about the worship of uh Allah. In fact, uh uh you know, uh he also perhaps reflects this the fact that how Pakistan now has uh advanced uh missile systems which can target uh you know, territories uh in Gulf. Uh in fact, he also threatened that Pakistan with all its wherewithal, power, and resources capable of destroying the enemy if any other country tries to join the Abraham Accord or or, you know, recognize Israel. Now, it's a it's an open warning coming from this dreaded terrorist, perhaps mastermind of the attack. Now, top intel sources are telling this to one of the Abdullah Qatari of Lashkar-e-Taiba is pushing jihadist ideology and constant enmity with Israel and Jews, his rejection of any normalization and treating Pakistan-Saudi ties as an anti-Israel stunt.

[00:02:29]The warning Muniz that that Pakistan-Saudi defense pact signed around September 2025 in the mutual defense agreement. This agreement is focused on broader security cooperation, not a forward deployment specifically 400 km from Israel for offensive purposes. So, open warning coming from Hafiz Saeed Qatari, perhaps for the countries who want to join the Abraham Accord or recognize Israel. In fact, there's a lot of pressure on Pakistan as well to do it. In fact, Lindsey Graham told the lie of President Trump the other day, perhaps, you know, asked Pakistan to to clarify its position on if they will be joining the accords, they will be recognizing Israel or or not. So, Pakistan itself is walking a tightrope. And now, Hafiz Saeed Qatari perhaps threatening not only Pakistani leadership but the other Islamic countries in the Gulf.

[00:03:22]>> All right, Siddhant. I appreciate you joining us and telling us more.
