Hamas Official: “We Accept a State in ‘67 Borders”
--------------------------------------------------



Solana’s comments come as Hamas officials continue to repeat they’d
accept a Palestinian state within the 1967 borders. In an interview with
the Associated Press, Hamas spokesperson Ghazi Hamad said, “We want to
be part of the international community. I think Hamas has no interest
now to increase the number of crises in Gaza or to challenge the world.”
Hamad continued, “We accept a state in the ‘67 borders. We are not
talking about the destruction of Israel.”
