A top Hamas political official told The Associated Press the Islamic militant group is willing to agree to a truce of five years or more with Israel and that it would lay down its weapons and convert into a political party if an independent Palestinian state is established along pre-1967 borders.

    Probably, but they don’t deserve to live under Israel either, and one of those is much more effective at killing them all.

    Two state solution has to be the way to go, after that the people can have a Palestinian Spring if they want and overthrow Hamas, but whoever comes after is likely not going to be much better. They never are.

      Yes, a two state solution is the only viable option. The problem is that Palestine never agrees to any of them. They won’t this time either. As far as Hamas is concerned they’ll only accept it if Tel Aviv is part of the independent Palestine. They regard the whole area as Palestine.

        The guy in the op is literally talking about the 1967 green line.
