(JNS) The Hamas terror group congratulated the Taliban on Monday as the fundamentalist group returned to power in Afghanistan, pushing out the United States after two decades of fighting.
Hamas said in a statement that it “congratulates the Taliban movement and its courageous leadership on this victory, which was the culmination of its long struggle over the past 20 years,” reported AFP.
Its officials wished “the Afghan Muslim people and its leadership success in achieving unity, stability and prosperity.”
They added it proves that “the resistance of the peoples—foremost of which is our struggling Palestinian people—is destined for victory.”
The Taliban took over the country’s capital of Kabul on Sunday, entering the presidential palace and declaring victory over the United States, its allies and related “infidels.”
