Hamas Won't Recognize Israel, Accept Quartet Terms
[An Nahar] Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, will never recognize Israel and will not accept the conditions laid out by the Middle East peacemaking  Quartet... The Quartet are the UN (xylophone), the United States (alto), the European Union (soprano), and Russia (shortstop). The group was established in Madrid in 2002 by former Spanish Prime Minister Aznar, as a result of the escalating conflict in the Middle East. Tony Blair is the Quartet's current Special Envoy.... , according to the Islamist movement's deputy leader. Speaking late on Saturday, Moussa Abu Marzouq said Hamas, which recently signed a reconciliation deal with the Western-backed Paleostinian leadership in the occupied West Bank, would never agree to recognize Israel.
