Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Afghan Taliban denounces the US administration’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital as a “reckless step” and say US President Donald Trump’s decision will “fan the flames conflict in the entire world especially the Middle East.
A Taliban statement to the media says that with the decision, America exposed its “colonialist face and declared enmity toward Islam as well as support for policy of occupation and colonization of Muslim lands.”
The statement also calls on Muslims world over and Islamic countries to back the “oppressed Palestinian nation.”
Afghan President Ashraf Ghani, meanwhile, says his government is “deeply concerned” over Trump’s move which “hurts the sentiments of the entire Islamic world.”
