Hamas official says group would lay down its arms if an independent Palestinian state is established - Lemmy.World
A top Hamas political official told The Associated Press the Islamic militant
group is willing to agree to a truce of five years or more with Israel and that
it would lay down its weapons and convert into a political party if an
independent Palestinian state is established along pre-1967 borders.
If you consider that Hamas only exists to fight against Israeli oppression over an ineffective PA, it makes sense that if the oppression ends, Hamas becomes irrelevant.
It’s important to note that for most of its existence, “fighting against Israeli oppression” explicitly meant Israel no longer existing. This is the first time I can remember them even implying that they would accept a two state solution.
they accepted a two-state solution previously, the isreali PM that was negotiating with them at the time was assassinated.
