Mohammed al-Hindi, deputy secretary-general of Islamic Jihad, told Al Jazeera on Monday that his group held extensive talks with an Egyptian delegation mediating the negotiations.
“The resistance has shown flexibility in the past and continues to do so,” he said. “Our primary goals are to end the aggression and withdraw Israeli forces. There’s room for flexibility on details, but our focus remains on mechanisms to end the war.”
Al-Hindi dismissed media speculation about optimism surrounding a deal, saying, “We are not concerned with talk in the press. What matters is a clear position from the Israeli government.”
