Palestinian Islamic Jihad evaluating merits of extending truce: Al Jazeera

A senior leader of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) group said in an interview with Al Jazeera that the proposal to extend the humanitarian truce between Israel and Hamas is still under “evaluation” by PIJ.

Daoud Shehab said PIJ is “committed to the interests of the Palestinian people more than anything else”.

He added the group is seeking to end the war and the displacement of more Palestinians. However, Shehab said PIJ will not allow Israel to impose its will on the people of Gaza.
