[Ynet News] Ali Waked - Hamas' senior political leader Khaled Mashaal said on Thursday, "The Palestinian people reject the Israeli position on a demilitarized state, on the refugees, on Jerusalem, and on the Jewish state." "A demilitarized state is a pathetic state, not a serious national entity. The Palestinians will not accept Jerusalem as a unified city under Jewish control." Mashaal called U.S. President Obama's demand that Israel freeze all construction in the settlements "positive, but not enough." "President Obama uses new language, but we expect real pressure on the Israelis. There are demands to freeze the settlements, but that is not the price we want, even if it is a necessary step."
