Hamas said on Monday that the Palestinians would not be bound by any decisions taken at a key US-hosted Middle East peace meeting that has further isolated the Islamists in their Gaza stronghold. “The decisions taken at Annapolis are not binding on the Palestinian people, who have not authorised anyone, either Arab or Palestinian, to erase their rights,” Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhum told AFP. “Our conference will carry the message of the dangers of a normalisation of ties with Israel,” Barhum said.
