Abbas ready to talk with Israel even if Hamas in govt
Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas said he is ready to resume peace talks with Israel, even if Hamas joins his government after Wednesday’s legislative vote. “We are ready to negotiate,” Abbas told Israeli reporters who were in Ramallah to cover the election. “We are partners with the Israelis. They don’t have the right to choose their partner. But if they are seeking a Palestinian partner, this partner exists,” he said.
