they couldn't trust Israel to follow up by lessening attacks on Gaza and in the West Bank.
not in any role to get that reciprocal agreement because I can't talk to Israeli officials.
It seems to me that what Hamas needs to do is pretty clear. Renounce violence would be a good step towards showing you actually want peace
We accept a Palestinian state within the June 4 1967 borders with Jerusalem as its capital -- a sovereign state without settlements -- as well as the right of Palestinian refugees to return, but without recognition of Israel
So I told them (Hamas) don't wait for reciprocation, just do it unilaterally. This will bring a lot of credit to you around the world for doing a humane thing. They turned me down.
They said that they would accept a Palestinian state within the 1967 borders if approved by Palestinians and that they would accept the right of Israel to live as a neighbour, next door, in peace
Carter is detached from reality... He talks to Khaled Meshaal and tries to reach an agreement, while the murderous attacks continue against the state of Israel
The problem is not that I met with Hamas in Syria, the problem is that Israel and the United States refuse to meet these people
