Elder of Ziyon
Musa Abu Marzouk, deputy head of the political bureau of Hamas, has expressed praise and support for the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan.
Tweeting in both Arabic and English, he wrote, "The Taliban are victorious today after being accused of backwardness & terrorism. it became more pragmatic. They have stood up to the US & its agents refusing compromise, they have not been fooled by slogans like democracy & elections.
This is a lesson for all oppressed peoples."
Hamas' Ismail Haniyeh met with a Taliban delegation in the past couple of months,probably in Qatar.
A Fatah news site aligned with Abbas rival Mohammed Dahlan says that Hamas' praise of the Taliban is shortsighted - not because they are bloodthirsty Islamists, but because they never helped the Palestinian cause.
UPDATE: Hamas formally congratulated the Taliban with this press release:
In the name of of Allah the Merciful
