Hamas has pulled another stunt, saying they would stop if a Palestinians state were established.
This can't happen as they do not have enough land.

CNN —
SomeHamas officialsare signaling that the militant group could give up armed struggle against Israel if the Palestinians get an independent state in territories captured byIsraelin the 1967 war.
The messaging suggests a softening of Hamas’ position as its fate hangs in the balance withIsrael’s pummeling of the Gaza Strip, which Hamas ruled before the war. The Palestinian militant group has long called for the Jewish state to be destroyed.
Basem Naim, an Istanbul-based member of Hamas’ political bureau, told CNN on Thursday that the group would agree to disarm if an independent Palestinian state was established.
“If an independent state with its capital in Jerusalem, while preserving the right of return for refugees, (is created) Al Qassam could be integrated into (a future) national army,” he said, referring to the group’s armed wing.
Hamas has traditionally rejected a two-state solution that would see a Palestinian state established alongside Israel and has instead advocated the creation of a Palestinian state in all of historic Palestine that today encompasses Israel, theoccupied West Bank, occupied East Jerusalem and Gaza.
Mustafa Barghouti, President of the Palestinian National Initiative, said he wasn’t aware of Hamas offering to lay down its arms before, but said it would be a significant move if true.
the danger now is Hamas has stopped talking about hostages.
Have they murdered them all.
