Hamas official Mohammad Ghazal said his organization would consider negotiating with Israel under far-fetched conditions:
He said any Hamas talks with Israel would still depend on its withdrawal from the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem to allow an independent state as well as a “right of return” for Palestinian refugees who fled in 1948 and their descendants.
If Israel agreed to those preconditions, there’d be nothing left to negotiate, yet Wafa Amr of Reuters spins Ghazal as a “relative moderate.”
