3. Hamas 'implicitly accepts Israel'

Palestinian militant group Hamas has agreed to a document backing a two-state solution to the conflict with Israel, officials say.

The initiative, devised by prisoners held in Israeli jails, implicitly recognises the Jewish state.

Hamas's charter currently calls for Israel's destruction by force and rules out peace negotiations with it. ...

So, either we believe Hamas when they say they accept a two state solution, or we believe Hamas when they say there is no negotiation and seek to destroy Israel.

Chances are, we can believe both. The first option paving the way for the second.
