The fate of the Taliban is in the hands of the Arabs, not Pakistan.

Political analysts and commentators in Afghanistan criticize Pakistan day and night, saying that Pakistan plays an important role in the strengthening and survival of the Taliban regime. But what I see now is that Pakistan's role after the fall of Ashraf Ghani's regime in Afghanistan has faded a lot. I would not say that it is completely reduced to zero.
For Pakistan's military intelligence (ISI), the leader of the Taliban is still the same unknown Mullah Haibatullah. Still, the question is, why is the US paying so much money for the survival of the Taliban regime, but cannot force them to accept their terms?
How does the Taliban take money from the US and oppose it? Does the US want to deliberately discredit itself?
How can the Americans not arrest a man like Sirajuddin Haqqani, who is on the US blacklist of terrorists and has a bounty on his head?
In my opinion, the role of the Gulf countries, especially Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia, in mediating between the US and the Taliban has become much more dangerous than the role of Pakistan.
All banks in the Gulf countries are in the service of Al-Qaeda and the Taliban.
All airports in these countries serve al-Qaeda and the Taliban, but these connections occur outside the cameras of journalists.
No reporter dares to delve into the secret channels of these countries.
Likewise, according to Mohammad Akram Andeshamand, Qatar's role in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has become a double-edged sword. Although Israel recently closed the Al Jazeera office in Tel Aviv, the TV channel's role in changing the Western world's opinion against Israel is greater than the Hamas and Al-Jihad missiles.
That media giant Al Jazeera nearly brought Israel to its knees in nine months of slaughtering Palestinians. It documented the terror and barbarity against the Palestinians and provoked public opinion in the Western world against Israel
Israel has been hit so hard by its friendship with the Gulf states that it has not received the same blow from its enmity with Hamas and Lebanese Hezbollah.
Also, the continuation and strengthening of the Taliban regime is entirely dependent on the support of the Gulf countries.
As long as large sums of US dollars reach the Taliban through Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, the Taliban have no worries or fear of falling, and they do not care whether anybody officially recognizes their government or not.
