“The Afghan nation rejoices in the defeat of the occupiers and the triumph of the people and fighters of Gaza, regarding Gaza as an integral part of its identity, sharing in the joys and sorrows of its oppressed brothers…The occupiers, having faced humiliation for 15 months, will soon encounter the reality of total defeat, as the dreams of martyrs and leaders like Ismail Haniyeh and Yahya Sinwar come to fruition, God willing.”Bill Roggio, “Taliban emir decries ‘Zionist assaults and acts of oppression’ in Gaza,” Long War Journal, June 7, 2025, https://www.longwarjournal.org/archives/2025/06/taliban-emir-decries-zionist-assaults-and-acts-of-oppression-in-gaza.php.
