 GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh said on Saturday that his Hamas group would be willing to accept a temporary Palestinian state in the West Bank, Gaza and east Jerusalem in exchange for a 10-year hudna truce with Israel.
| To be violated at a time and place of his choosing. |
His comments, reiterating Hamas policy for the moment, came as ineffectual Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas was to meet HamasÂ’ supreme leader Khaled Mashaal in Syria to coordinate strategy discuss ways to form a coalition government and end international sanctions on the Palestinians.
HaniyehÂ’s proposal has previously been rejected by Israel and the international community, which demand that Hamas recognize IsraelÂ’s right to exist and renounce violence.
| Which they won't ever do. |
“We are with liberating any inch of Palestine,” he said in a televised address. “But we will not close the door for the next generation, because the weak don’t always stay weak, and the strong won’t stay strong.”
| Though I'm comfortably certain that Paleos will remain Paleos. |
