Islamic Jihad appears to soften stance, demanding changes to Trump plan, rather than rejecting it outright

After Palestinian Islamic Jihad issued a statement on Monday rejecting US President Donald Trump’s Gaza peace plan, the terror group holding several hostages appears to soften its stance a little.

PIJ deputy secretary-general Mohammed al-Hindi tells Al Arabiya that the group wants major changes to the plan, apparently no longer rejecting it outright.

The changes include a clearly scheduled withdrawal of Israeli troops linked to the release of the hostages.
