The Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine confirmed that the Palestinian people and their resistance imposed today "an honorable agreement to stop the aggression, withdraw, and conduct an honorable prisoner exchange, due to their legendary steadfastness and their brave and valiant fighters."

The movement stressed, in a statement, that it will spare no effort in serving the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, "keeping pace with the challenges of the next stage," and that "the resistance will remain vigilant to ensure the full implementation of this agreement."

The PIJ also paid tribute to the Palestinian people and their steadfast fighters in the Gaza Strip, at home and abroad, and to all resistance fighters that have supported the Palestinian people throughout time. 

The statement also thanked its "brothers in Qatar and Egypt for their efforts to make this agreement a success." Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani held a press conference to announce the successful efforts to broker a ceasefire agreement in Gaza.

During the press briefing, Al Thani confirmed that both Palestinian and Israeli parties had agreed to the terms of the ceasefire, which is set to be implemented on Sunday, January 19.

Hamas hails ceasefire agreement, resilience of people

Hamas described the ceasefire as the fruit of the "legendary resilience" demonstrated by the people of Gaza and their courageous resistance against the Israeli occupation. It emphasized that the agreement represents a critical milestone in the ongoing struggle for liberation and the right of return for Palestinians.

In a statement, Hamas underscored the humanitarian urgency of the agreement, stating it was driven by a deep sense of responsibility toward the people of Gaza. The movement expressed hope that the deal would halt Israeli aggression, end the bloodshed, and stop the massacres and genocidal policies that the population has endured.

Hamas extended its gratitude to the global community for its solidarity with Gaza, particularly acknowledging the support of Arab and Islamic nations. It also commended international efforts that exposed the crimes of the Israeli occupation and contributed to ending the aggression.

Special recognition was given to mediators, specifically Qatar and Egypt, for their pivotal roles in facilitating the agreement and ensuring its success.
