Islamic Jihad Chief Arrives in Doha for Ceasefire Talks

A senior delegation from Palestinian Islamic Jihad, led by the group’s elusive leader Ziad al-Nakhalah, arrived in Doha last night to participate in talks regarding a potential ceasefire deal in Gaza, according to a statement released by the organization. The visit marks a rare public appearance for Nakhalah, who has not been seen in some time. The delegation’s arrival in Qatar signals renewed efforts by mediators to broker a truce as negotiations over a hostage deal and an end to the fighting in Gaza continue behind closed doors. Qatari officials have yet to comment on the visit, which comes amid growing international pressure to secure a long-term agreement.
