Kabul: Some Islamic Emirate officials called on Islamic countries and the international community to clarify their position against Israel’s attacks on the Gaza Strip.

The scientific deputy of the Ministry of Higher Education, Lutfollah Khairkhwah, said during a scientific seminar in Kabul titled “Intellectual Education for Youth” that certain nations, particularly the United States, consider Israel’s war against Palestine to be legitimate.

Khairkhwah said that Islamic countries have remained silent and have not taken a stand on this issue.

“America stood by Israel and is directly involved in the war and says that Israel has a legal right to defend itself and all Islamic countries look at it, and they can’t even take a position to say that this war should end,” Khairkhwah noted.

Speaking at the seminar, the deputy also asked youth to fulfill their responsibilities toward society and consider intellectual and moral principles.

“In our Islamic countries, a gap has been created between our history, culture and societies. The third issue is the true sense of responsibility that has disappeared and this feeling must be restored,” Khairkhwah added.

“It is the responsibility and mission of universities to work on the minds of youth,” said Sayed Abdul Hakim Hekmat, chancellor of Bayazid Rokhan University.

The scientific deputy of the Ministry of Higher Education, Lutfollah Khairkhwah, added that all students who return to Afghanistan from neighboring countries, especially Pakistan, will be provided with higher education.

Some professors who participated the seminar said that holding scientific seminars is important for youth and asked the officials to hold more such programs.

“A kind of science is useful for Muslim youth which has intellectual thought; without intellectual thought, all sciences are incomplete,” said Rahmatullah Seial, a university lecturer.

Earlier, the Deputy Minister of Youth Affairs of the Ministry of Information and Culture announced the approval of a decree in the intellectual education department of the youth by the leader of the Islamic Emirate.
