Last Afghan Jew Finally Reaches Israel

Nov 12, 2024, 08:56 GMT+0

Zablon Simintov, the last Jew from Afghanistan, arrived in Israel on Monday with the help of a Jewish Agency.

According to Israel's Kan network, Simintov went to Türkiye after the Taliban came to power, and after living there for three years, he finally arrived in Israel on Monday.

Simintov, who was forced to leave Afghanistan after the fall of Kabul, in an exclusive interview with Kan 11, said that he was in danger every day and had taken care of the only synagogue in Kabul for a long time, but after the Taliban takeover, he had no choice but to leave Afghanistan.

Simintov was shifted to Türkiye with the support of an American Jewish man named Mordechai Kahana, where he remained for three years. During this time, he continued to look for an opportunity to immigrate to the United States, but encountered administrative problems.

In the interview, he also spoke of his desire to go to Israel to visit his friends.

The Jewish Agency, which facilitated Simintov's immigration to Israel, declined to comment on the details of the case, saying that it could not comment on his specific situation.

Will Continue To Operate Despite Taliban Disruption, Says Afghan Embassy In Australia
100%

The Afghan embassy in Australia announced that the Taliban has made efforts to disrupt the consular services of the embassy.

The embassy added that despite the disruptions, it would continue to provide consular services to Afghans living in Australia "with strength and stability”.

The Afghan embassy in Canberra said in a statement on Monday (November 11) that the Taliban continues to harass the Afghan people, even outside Afghanistan's borders, due to their lack of internal and external legitimacy and seek to create new challenges for Afghans living in other countries.

The statement did not explain exactly how the Taliban had disrupted the consular services of the Afghan embassy in Australia. However, the Taliban's Foreign Ministry had previously announced that except for consulates that interact with the ministry, consular documents of other Afghan diplomatic missions are not valid.

The Taliban's Foreign Ministry has not responded to the new statement from the Afghan embassy in Australia.

"We assure our Afghan compatriots in Australia that the consular activities of this embassy will continue without any interruption and that its staff will be vigorously and steadfastly engaged in providing consular services and addressing the concerns of our compatriots," the statement said.

Taliban's Ideology Will Spread Across The Globe, Warns Malala Yousafzai

Taliban's Ideology Will Spread Across The Globe, Warns Malala Yousafzai
100%

Malala Yousafzai, the Nobel Peace Prize winner, has warned that the Taliban's ideology is not limited to Afghanistan, but has also spread across Pakistan and will spread to the rest of the world too.

Yousafzai told the British newspaper The Times that this ideology is spreading because the world is not doing anything about it.

In an interview with the newspaper, Yousafzai stressed that Afghan women are exposed to "gender apartheid" under the Taliban's rule.

"Afghanistan is the only country in the world where girls are barred from secondary and university education," she said.

Regarding Afghan women's right to work and education, Yousafzai said, "Afghan women need support, they need equal rights, and I say that women's rights are at stake."

"My priority is the right of girls to education and women's right to work, which is at stake in Afghanistan," she added. "If we fail to take steps for women in Afghanistan, we will see a continuation of a severe form of gender discrimination."

In response to a question about the increase in terrorism outside Afghanistan, the women's rights activist said, "The Taliban's ideology is not limited to Afghanistan, it has spread to Pakistan, and we are witnessing this increase in other parts of the world as well."

She warned that the Taliban's "lack of accountability" to countries around the world has caused the group to continue oppression of women without fear of the consequences of its behaviour.

In an interview with Sky News, Yousafzai also criticised the international community's inattention to the situation of Afghan women.

Referring to Donald Trump's victory in the US election, she said, "We need courageous leaders who stand with Afghan women and support their rights."
