Hamas leader: Truce if Israel withrdaws land
DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) - April 21, 2008 Khaled Mashaal says he made the offer to former President Carter
in talks on Saturday.
Mashaal says Hamas would accept a Palestinian state limited to
the lands Israel seized in 1967 - an implicit acceptance that
Israel would exist alongside that state.
But Mashaal says the group would never outright formally
recognize Israel.
