Israel pursues a deliberate and systematic policy of influence over Afghanistan, controlled by the Taliban movement, using this country against the Islamic Republic of Iran. Experts claim that the signing of the US agreement in the year 1400 according to the Iranian calendar (2021), which brought the Taliban to power in Afghanistan, opened new opportunities for Israel in the region. The Doha Agreement effectively obligated the Taliban to cooperate with the US strategic allies, including the Israeli regime.
In exchange for economic and political support from the US, as well as to maintain power and ignore numerous human rights violations committed by the Taliban, the group’s leadership entered into secret deals. One such deal involved cooperation with Israeli intelligence to allow Mossad to infiltrate Iran via Afghan territory. Iranian experts and media have repeatedly expressed serious concern about this.
Despite bloody military attacks by Israel on Gaza Strip, Lebanon, Jordan, and recently the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Taliban during nearly four years of their rule in Afghanistan have not taken any clear position and have limited themselves to symbolic condemnation statements.
Earlier, in the year 1402 (2023), the Taliban announced that to normalize relations with Iran, they arrested for the first time three Israeli intelligence agents at the border with Iran who allegedly tried to launch drones into the neighboring country, and handed them over to Iranian authorities.
Developing Relations Between Israel and the Taliban Movement
According to the Iranian newspaper Jomhouri-e Islami, in the summer of 1402 (2023), the Israeli regime announced it had close ties with the Taliban and intends to deepen them. The newspaper also warned about the growing influence of Mossad in Afghanistan and the possibility of crossing into Iran via Afghan territory.
Meanwhile, the Russian news agency Sputnik, citing Israel’s Channel 24, reported on 26 Mizan/Mehr 1402 (October 2023):
"One faction of the Taliban is ready to establish ties with Israel. It first wants to enter secret negotiations to eventually reach a bilateral agreement."
The same channel also reported that the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs has already established numerous contacts with representatives of the Taliban movement.
Earlier, Mohammad Naeem, spokesperson of the Taliban’s political office in Qatar, told Al Jazeera that the Taliban have no problems with any country. Asked if this included Israel, he replied:
"What problems do we have with Israel?"
He added:
"If a country or person has no hostility towards us, why do you ask how we will resolve issues with people who do not interfere with us? In my opinion, such a question is unreasonable."
Jomhouri-e Islami Newspaper: The Taliban Are the Second Israel
Following growing concerns about cooperation between the Taliban and Israeli intelligence agency Mossad, the Iranian newspaper Jomhouri-e Islami published an article titled: "A Serious Warning About the Taliban: They Are the Second Israel."
The article states that, based on commitments given by the Taliban to the US in the Doha Agreement, conditions are being created for Israeli infiltration into Iran through Afghanistan, and Iran must seriously consider the intelligence cooperation between these two groups.
Israel and Attempts to Judaize Pashtun Tribes in Afghanistan
On the other hand, the Iranian news agency Tasnim published a separate article citing the British newspaper The Guardian under the title: "Judaization of Pashtun Tribes in Afghanistan."
The article states:
"The Zionist regime has allocated a budget to research possible ethnic links between the Pashtuns and Israelis."
According to the newspaper, Israeli anthropologists believe that among the peoples claimed to be connected to the 'ten lost tribes of Israel,' the Pashtuns of Afghanistan are the most ‘convincing’ candidates.
