A Hamas official, Khalil al-Hayya, said the group was ready to agree to a five-year or more truce with Israel if an independent Palestinian state was established on the 1967 borders.
In his remarks to The Associated Press, al-Haya stressed that “Hamas wants to join the Palestine Liberation Organization, which is headed by Fatah, to form a unified government for Gaza and the West Bank.”
Al-Haya stressed that “Hamas will accept the establishment of a fully sovereign Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza Strip and the return of Palestinian refugees in accordance with international resolutions on the 1967 borders, if that happens, the military wing of the movement will be dissolved.”
Al-Hayya’s comments came in the context of an ongoing stalemate in ceasefire talks, and the disarmament proposals represent a major shift by Hamas, which had previously insisted it sought to “destroy Israel.”
But Israel is still unlikely to contemplate such a truce, especially after Israeli leaders strongly opposed the creation of a Palestinian state, and the United States vetoed a draft resolution to recognize full Palestinian membership in the United Nations.
