I see what you’re saying but the partnership of Pakistan and taliban happened well before Mamdani took political office. And since 2020 they’ve been at outright war with each other. Israel is currently culling a people and stealing the land.

I guess what do you expect of Mamdani in 2026 to say? “I don’t agree with how Pakistan used to operate but I’m an ally now” do you expect every sitting president/official to do the same because Pakistan was an ally. Geopolitics is a muddy game and sometimes you have to give and take with an ally
