The Answer Is To Let Israel Say It Will Recognize A Palestinian State Along The 1967 Borders, Release The Prisoners And Recognize The Rights Of The Refugees To Return To Israel. Hamas Will Have A Position If This Occurs.

When I Said A Few Weeks Ago That Our People Would Eat Cooking Oil And Olives If Necessary, I Didn't Mean That There Really Would Be Only Oil And Olives. What I Meant Was That Our People Have The Necessary Patience To Endure The Current Difficult Situation. Palestinians Would Rather Do Without Certain Food Items Than Their National Rights.
