ARAB VOICES: Why terrorists want a ceasefire in Gaza
KHALED ABU TOAMEH -- The terrorists want an end to the war while staying in power and pursuing their jihad (holy war) to murder Jews and eliminate Israel.
In separate statements over the past week, senior officials of the Iran-backed Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) said that their terror groups “will not surrender.”
The statements came as the Trump administration continued its efforts to end the war in the Gaza Strip and secure the release of 50 Israeli hostages held by the terror groups.
Twenty of the hostages are believed to be alive, while the remaining 30 are presumed dead. The hostages were kidnapped during the October 7, 2023 Hamas-led invasion of Israel.
