Al-Hindi: Netanyahu sent envoys to negotiate swap deal with Jihad

Deputy Secretary-General Muhammad al-Hindi on Saturday said Israel had sent envoys to the Movement’s leadership to conclude a bilateral swap deal without Hamas.

Al-Hindi said, according to the Palestinian Ma’an news agency: “Netanyahu sent an envoy from the United Nations to negotiate with the Islamic Jihad movement on a prisoner exchange deal without Hamas.”

“A regional country did this in another attempt, but the movement refused, and confirmed its mandate for Hamas,” he said.
