Hamas is Willing to Accept Palestinian Referendum on Deal with Israel

December 6, 2010

The new policy is significant because it veers away from the Hamas charter which lays claim to all land, including that which is the state of Israel; and because it appears to be a major step toward reconciliation with Fatah.  

Ending the bifurcation between the Hamas-controlled Gaza and Fatah-controlled West Bank [Judea and Samaria] is seen as a priority in preparing for statehood. Hamas’ acceptance of the basic tenets of the peace process—even if it comes only after a referendum—arguably satisfies the preconditions of western nations in order to accept Hamas as a partner in a Palestinian government.
