U.S.: Palestinian Unity Government Must Recognize Israel, Disarm Hamas
(AFP) In the first detailed U.S. response to last week's Palestinian unity deal, Jason Greenblatt, President Trump's special representative for international negotiations, said Thursday: "Any Palestinian government must unambiguously and explicitly commit to nonviolence, recognize the State of Israel, accept previous agreements and obligations between the parties - including to disarm terrorists - and commit to peaceful negotiations. If Hamas is to play any role in a Palestinian government, it must accept these basic requirements."
