(Gatestone Institute) Bassam Tawil - After slaughtering 1,200 Israelis and kidnapping 240 others on Oct. 7, 2023, the Iran-backed Hamas terror group is again trying to dupe gullible Westerners, including the Biden administration and the EU, into believing that it has accepted the "two-state solution" that envisages the creation of a sovereign and independent Palestinian state next to Israel. AP reported on April 25 that "a top Hamas political official" said "the Islamic militant group is willing to agree to a truce of five years or more with Israel and that it would lay down its weapons and convert into a political party if an independent Palestinian state is established along pre-1967 borders." The Hamas official would not have dared to utter similar nonsense to an Arab media outlet. The claim that Hamas will convert into a political party is laughable. Hamas will never abandon its weapons or dismantle its armed group, especially after the establishment of a Palestinian state. It is committed to continuing the Jihad (holy war) against Israel. It is high time to remind AP and the rest of the world that Hamas had full and exclusive control of Gaza - as well as a ceasefire - when thousands of its members invaded Israel seven months ago. There had been no Jews inside Gaza since 2005. Gaza was, in fact, an independent and sovereign Palestinian state. But that did not stop Hamas from launching its Oct. 7 massacre against Israelis, because it wants to eliminate Israel and replace it with an Iran-backed Islamist terror state. If Hamas and the Palestinian Authority are given a state next to Israel, they will absolutely continue to pursue their goal of killing Jews and obliterating Israel. Hamas is well aware of the gullibility of the international community. It knows that it can engage in all forms of propaganda and win friends in the West. It also knows that the best vehicle to advance its goal of killing Jews and destroying Israel is a "two-state solution." 2024-05-05 00:00:00Full Article
