Hamas Sticking to Tough Line on Israel

[Reuters] Nidal al-Mughrabi - "Hamas believes the presence of Israel is something that is not permanent...and it is possible that in the end, it can be contained within a Palestinian state," said Mustafa Assawaf, a Palestinian expert on Islamist groups. Assawaf predicted that Hamas would never recognize Israel "even if the temptation was world recognition and a (Palestinian) state."
