Hamas: No Unity Government If We Must Recognize Israel
[Ha'aretz] Aluf Benn and Avi Issacharoff - Hamas will not join a Palestinian unity government if recognition of Israel is a condition, an aide to Palestinian Prime Minister Haniyeh said Friday. The comment appeared to contradict PA Chairman Abbas' statement to the UN on Thursday that the planned Hamas-Fatah government would recognize Israel. Haniyeh's political adviser Ahmed Yousef said, "there won't be a national unity government if Hamas is asked to recognize Israel."
