[The Hamas official leading talks to form a government Mahmoud] Zahar said Monday that Hamas was willing to establish a temporary state in the West Bank, Gaza and east Jerusalem as an interim step toward taking over Israel.
First it was Yasser Arafat and his Fatah "government" that pursued this strategy of a false peace, and now it is the immediate successor Hamas government. It is far past time to acknowledge that there is no peace process and no interlocutor for the Israelis. In 1948, the Palestinian Arabs were given their own nation for the first time in history, but chose war to destroy the Jewish state of Israel instead. Nothing has ever changed.
