Islamic Jihad says ceasefire conditioned on Israel easing Gaza blockade

An Islamic Jihad official says the reported Gaza ceasefire is contingent on Israel easing its blockade of the Palestinian enclave.

The official says the measures include the easing of limits on fishing and improvements in Gaza’s electricity and fuel situation.

The IDF has declined to comment on the deal, but there has been no rocket fire or Israeli strikes after the Egyptian-brokered deal was due to take effect.
