Hamas denied reports yesterday that it was ready for a two-state solution with Israel or would present such a proposal to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. "That is not correct. Where did you hear that?" Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh said in the town of Khan Younis in the Gaza Strip. He appeared shocked when asked by reporters if it was true. Any readiness to talk about a two-state solution would imply recognition of Israel, which the group is formally sworn to destroy.| We knew that. That's why we didn't believe it. |
