The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (Taliban) has released an official statement in the wake of the recent Israel-Hamas war. The statement outlines the Taliban’s stance on the issue and calls upon Islamic countries and international organizations to take action against Israel.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (MoFA) is the cabinet ministry responsible for managing Afghanistan’s foreign relations. The current acting foreign minister is Mawlawi Amir Khan Muttaqi. Muttaqi is a prominent Afghan politician and a leading member of the Taliban Islamic Movement.
According to the statement, the Ministry has been closely monitoring the events unfolding in the Gaza Strip and has attributed the conflict to “the violation of the rights of the oppressed Palestinian people by the Israeli Zionists and repeated insults and disrespect to the holy places of Muslims.”
The statement goes on to say that the Taliban considers “any type of defense and resistance of the Palestinian people for the freedom of their land and their sanctuaries as their legitimate right.”
The group urges the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), the second largest intergovernmental organization in the world after the United Nations, and other influential countries in the region, to intervene in the conflict. The statement explicitly calls for these entities to “prevent the violence of the Israeli occupying forces against the innocent people of Palestine” and to resolve the issue “on the basis of granting the legitimate rights of the Palestinians.”
