Hamas leader offers truce if Israel withdraws from 1967 lands

news.yahoo.com

DAMASCUS, Syria - The leader of Hamas says his Palestinian militant group is offering Israel a 10-year truce if it withdraws from all lands it seized in the 1967 war.

Khaled Mashaal says he made the offer to former President Carter in talks on Saturday.

Mashaal says Hamas would accept a Palestinian state limited to the lands Israel seized in 1967 — an implicit acceptance that Israel would exist alongside that state.

But Mashaal says the group would never outright formally recognize Israel.

I believe this offer is more than fair. But for some reason I dont think Israel will take the offer. Israel loves war way too much.

Believe it's fair? Lol the Hamas still will not recognise Israels right to exist. Hamas is a terror organisation. Hamas is organised and supplied by the main pillar within The Axis of Evil.... Iran. As a terror org I hope that Israel will completely eliminate this Iranian front on the Gaza border called Hamas along with Iran. Remember Israel WON that land in a defensive war against agressors from the Islamic world. Answer me this dood.....

Why should Israel give up this land taken in a defensive war against agressors who wish to eliminate ALL of Israel?

You must be into national suicide dood.............................

Hamas seems to be forgetting who owned those lands before 1967.

Here's a hint: It wasn't Palestinians.

Wow . . . lower it to 7 years and this starts to get freaky.

Jimmy Carter the antichrist?

Been there, done that, bought the Tee-shirt. How many times must we be lied to, before the world wakes up and learns that Hamass can't be trusted. Good old Jimmy is being a dupe for the bad guys again. The suckers will line up and take the bait hook line and sinker.

I have to agree that. in my opinion, Israel will seize on and hold to the 'non-recognition' aspect of this offer to avoid having to consider it publicly.

Both parties are 'pretending' to be open to negotiation. Every offer by either side is 'prepackaged' and 'laced' with the seeds of its own failure. I think BOTH sides want this tragedy to continue until one of them ceases to exist.

While I sympathize with the people who suffer the pains and indignations of war, the leadership on both sides needs to go away for ever (I don't care where, as long as they are never heard from again).

Start by putting the children in charge..., how could they possibly do worse?

The only difference between boys and mens is the type of rocks they can throw. I have to agree with you Maxmars, as sad as it sounds, maybe the world should just close off the borders and let the two duke it out without any outside help.

10 year truce. Might mean we're back to this same point 10 years from now, although 10 years is a good amount of time for a healing process to occur. If they can actually hold true to a 10 year truce, they could hold true to a permanent peace agreement.
