Hamas links merger into regular army to establishment of independent Palestine state
[GEO.TV] Hamas has signalled to merge into the regular army and cease its counter-attacks against Israeli brutality on the condition that the independent Paleostinian state is established, the group’s official Basem Naim told CNN Thursday.

Naim — who is a member of Hamas’ based in Istanbul — told the outlet referring to the group's armed wing: "If an independent state with its capital in Jerusalem, while preserving the right of return for refugees, [is created] Al Qassam could be integrated into [a future] national army."

Mustafa Barghouti, President of the Paleostinian National Initiative, was unaware of the proposal, however, suggested that "it would be a significant move if true."

"It's significant in the sense that Paleostinians are resisting occupation because there is an occupation," he told media outlet.
