Hamas official calls for peace deal vote

TEL AVIV, Israel - political leaders who Hamas in Gaza said the Organization would keep themselves being negotiated to a peace treaty with Israel by rival of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas if it is ratified by a global Palestinian referendum.

HAMASAssociated press Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh said in Gaza City on Wednesday.

The statement was a new character of flexibility within the militant group if unsure, who has consistently opposed negotiations and is a possible spoiler from any peace agreement between Israel and Mr Abbas the United States of supported Palestinian Authority.

The militant group who controls the Gaza Strip since a violent takeover of Mr. of Abbas's security forces in 2007, has been very critical to begin Abbas's decision Mr in August to direct talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. These talks have been frozen since late September due to disputes over the expansion of settlements.

Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh said on Wednesday, a press conference in Gaza City that Hamas wants "Part of the solution not the problem."

Mr. Haniyeh said that would resist establishing a Palestinian State in territories occupied by Israel group after the 1967 Arab-Israeli war, the associated press reported.

Although Hamas numbers occasionally have expressed support for a long-term truce with Israel along the 1967 borders, seems Mr Haniyeh readiness to accept to go a step further a bilateral contract. He said, a referendum on such would have a deal to the Palestinian diaspora outside the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem include.

It is unclear whether the remarks by Mr Haniyeh, a relatively moderate for Hamas, reflects a consensus in an organization in the power between the hardliners leader Khaled Meshaal in Damascus, Syria, and the military wing in Gaza is distributed. Criticism of the latest round of negotiations confirms Mr Haniyeh on Wednesday.

Officials from the Palestinian Authority controlled the West Bank were unavailable for comment.

A legislator by Mr Abbas that Fatah party, said he saw the comments as an effort to Mr Abbas, to pursue talks to convince reconciliation with Hamas as an expression of confidence in the negotiations with Israel.

"If we in talks with Israel failed, why we begin a dialogue with Hamas", said Husam Khader, a legislator from the West Bank city of Nablus.

Israel, the peace process has sponsors, together with the so-called Quartet said, their political boycott would raise the Hamas only if it honors violence of foreswears, past peace treaties and Israel recognizes.

"Hamas peace with the Palestinian Authority, can not so how can anyone believe you want peace with Israel?", Yigal Palmor Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman said. "You have declined to recognize all offers of the international community, join Israel and the political process."

Israel has economic and military blockade of the Gaza Strip, not imposed on, although it weakened the Hamas Palestinians hold on the coastal strip of 1.5 million still.
