In conclusion, despite the Israeli regime’s brutality and significant military losses, they have not achieved any of their objectives during the war. Multiple factors, including American pressure, regional efforts such as mediation by countries like Qatar and Egypt, and the steadfastness of the Palestinian people and their brave resistance fighters, compelled the Israeli regime to agree to this ceasefire. This agreement has not fulfilled any of their goals except for the release of Israeli prisoners from Hamas, in exchange for which even large numbers of Palestinian prisoners were freed.

The main reason behind the recent conflict between the Islamic Emirate and Pakistan is the issue of Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). The Pakistani government accuses the Islamic Emirate of providing safe havens to TTP and collaborating with them across the Durand Line.

Consequently, Pakistan has continued to conduct airstrikes in Paktika and other regions, claiming to target TTP fighters.

By adminPosted on June 8, 2024Posted in Afghanistan, Analysis, Foreign Policy, Recent Analysis, Weekly Analysis PDFTagged AEI-America, Foreign Policy, slideshow, the United StatesNo Comments

There are three ways for the United States to engage with the Islamic Emirate:

Complete Isolation: Isolate the Islamic Emirate entirely and impose additional severe restrictions until they meet the U.S. demands.

Official Recognition: Recognize the Islamic Emirate officially and establish formal diplomatic relations with it.

Engagement without Recognition: Neither isolate it completely nor officially recognize it, but rather engage with it without formal recognition until the Islamic Emirate makes changes in its domestic policies.

So far, the United States has chosen the third path.

The specific objectives of U.S. foreign policy towards the Islamic Emirate include combating terrorism, fighting for the education and employment rights of girls, preventing drug trafficking, providing aid to prevent a humanitarian crisis, and evacuating U.S. allies from Afghanistan, and applying restrictions and pressure to make the Islamic Emirate meet its demands.

The most important consideration for cooperation with immigrants or their return to the country is to remove the factors of migration in a country. However, in Afghanistan, every government that has been in rule has tried to adopt a soft policy towards the immigrants, but they have often failed to eliminate the factors of migration and provide the grounds for the return of the citizens of this country.
