Quote by: Trotsky  Leader of Hamas has said that Hamas will never recognise the right of Israel to exist, but that a ceasefire is in everybody's interest. Sounds like they are on their knees and need time to reorganise. |
Read between the lines. They also said that they would accept a Palestinian State next to Israel.
What is the harm of talking to Hamas? Giving them legitimacy? Please, they already have legitimacy amongst the Palestinian people and much the Arab and Muslim people. If peace will be brokered then it must be with Hamas. Israel doesn't have to accept anything, but the silent treatment only insures more violence.
The best way to pacify an enemy is direct talks!
