A top Hamas political official told The Associated Press 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 Palestinian people do not deserve to live under the rule of Hamas

    Depends. Does conversion to a political party imply free elections and opposition parties to exist?

      Which terror groups that took full power restored the right to vote after having already stripped their people of that right?

          So… You concede that there are no terror orgs who have expanded the rights of the people they control?

            The basis of your statement is nonsensical.

            Terror organisations don’t control the rights of people. (If they did, then terrorism would not be needed)

              Which is why they won’t be handed autonomy over Palestine.

              Glad we are in agreement.
