Israeli proposal not generous: PIJ official

The proposal presented to the Resistance in the negotiations is not as generous as the Americans, who are trying to deceive the world, are claiming it to be, Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) politburo member Ihsan Ataya told Al Mayadeen on Monday.
Tehran -ISNA- "The proposed offer has major loopholes and malicious plots," Ataya stressed. "The proposal presented is three and a half pages long and talks about details in three stages," he revealed.
Unity has peaked between the PIJ and Hamas, and "therefore we have rejected all proposals that could disrupt Palestinian solidarity," Ataya added.
The aggression on Rafah, the Palestinian official stressed, is linked to the port that the US is attempting to build in Gaza.
"The goal of the port is to turn the crossings into besieged American-Zionist crossings, as Washington is trying to alter the situation for the Palestinians," he said.
According to Ataya, the United States, after changing the geographical status quo in Gaza, wants to end everything related to the Resistance. However, "the Resistance's leadership is aware of the malicious plots being sown by the enemy."
A high-ranking Palestinian resistance official told Al Mayadeen days earlier that the Israeli occupation was forced to make some changes to its latest proposal, which it presented to mediators some time ago.
The Palestinian official explained that these amendments were made after the Israeli regime acknowledged that Hamas and other Resistance factions outright rejected its latest proposal.
The Israeli proposal presented in the negotiations does not reflect a fundamental shift in the position and does not give clear answers on the issue of withdrawal and a comprehensive ceasefire, the official stressed.
The official said Hamas "is still studying the proposal, but there are no high expectations for its acceptance unless fundamental amendments are made to it."
