During the contact, Haniyeh hailed the Taliban victory over US occupation forces in Afghanistan, Hamas said in a statement.
Haniyeh voiced hope that the Taliban movement “could have a role in supporting their brothers in Palestine to liberate Jerusalem.”
He also underlined the necessity to keep “Palestine present in the speeches of the Afghan Foreign Ministry, especially Jerusalem and the ongoing (Israeli) violations there.”
