| Haniyeh: Hamas prepared for PA state on '67 lines |
| 2006-12-20 |
| Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh said Tuesday in a televised speech that after an independent Palestinian state were established within the 1967 borders, Hamas would be prepared to honor a hudna (cease-fire) with Israel of anywhere from 10 to 20 years, Channel 2 reported. |

| #5 The '67 borders, eh? The reason those borders are no longer in place is because someone started a war and that someone lost. As a general rule of thumb, losers don't have much say in determining borders after a conflict. Sorry. |

| #3 I don't think one can "honour" a hudna. It's a one-sided respite to be ended at the whim of the declarer. "Ceasefire" doesn't exist in the vocab. That would be "run away and rearm". |

| #2 The famous hudna, namely, the Treaty of Hudaybiyya, was for 10 years (of course Mohamet broke the treaty in its 2nd year)and thus a lot of sources say that 10 is the longest that can be offered Thus Haniyeh is on thin theological ground in offering up to 20. Somebody might assasinate him for that. |
