Why it matters:
The second largest armed resistance group in Gaza has given its blessing and backing to the ceasefire agreement and prisoner exchange, and this is an important and necessary condition for peace to be established in war-ravaged Gaza.
What it's saying:
The Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) further added in its statement: “We emphasise the enormous sacrifices made by our Palestinian people, and the courage and bravery of its fighters on the ground who confronted the enemy forces and showed unprecedented courage in combat.”
The statement went on to say: “In these historic moments, our people will not forget their great martyrs who played the most important role in keeping the resistance steadfast.”
Go deeper:
The Israeli regime and Hamas have agreed on the first phase of a peace plan to pause fighting and release some captives and prisoners held in Gaza and in the occupied Palestinian territories.
