Under military pressure, a top Hamas official suggests recognizing Israel UPDATE: “Never mind”
[IsraelTimes] Senior Hamas
...the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,...
official Mousa Abu Marzouk
...whose net worth is over US$3 billion...
suggests that the Paleostinian terror group could recognize Israel for the first time as a step toward Paleostinian unity, potentially indicating the pressure it is currently under amid Israel’s military campaign to oust it from the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

Strip.

The development comes shortly after Hamas politburo chief Ismail Haniyeh
...became Prime Minister of Gaza after the legislative elections of 2006 which Hamas won. President Mahmoud Abbas dismissed Haniyeh from office on 14 June 2007 at the height of the Fatah-Hamas festivities, but Haniyeh did not acknowledge the decree and continues as the PM of Gazoo while Abbas maintains a separate PM in the West Bank...
said yesterday that he is open to talks for ending the ongoing war and "putting the Paleostinian house in order both in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip," potentially leading to a "political path that secures the right of the Paleostinian people to their independent state with Jerusalem as its capital."

Hamas has always openly sought Israel’s destruction and has vowed to commit similar onslaughts to the one carried out on October 7 until this is achieved.

The rival Paleostine Liberation Organization (PLO), which runs the Paleostinian Authority in the West Bank, recognized Israel as part of the Oslo Accords in the 1990s, though it doesn’t recognize Israel as a Jewish state.

"You should follow the official stance. The official stance is that the PLO has recognized the state of Israel," Abu Marzouk tells al-Monitor.
