The Islamic Jihad terror group issued a statement Saturday morning, as reported by Abu Ali Express, arguing that Israeli escalation and ceasefire violations have not stopped since the announcement of the second-phase wording. The group said the proposed agreement cannot restrain the 'occupation' or stop the war, and called on guarantors to enforce Israel's first-phase commitments.
The Islamic Jihad terror group on Saturday issued a statement, as reported by Abu Ali Express, addressing the status of the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip. The statement asserts that Israeli escalation and ceasefire violations have continued since the announcement of the wording for the second phase of the agreement, which was announced earlier this week. The group argues that the proposed agreement is incapable of restraining Israel or ending the war, and calls on international guarantors to ensure Israel fulfills its first-phase commitments. The statement reflects the group's position that the current diplomatic track is insufficient. The claims have not been independently verified, and Israel has not yet responded to the statement.
