Carter said Hamas promised it wouldn't undermine Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’ efforts to reach a peace deal with Israel, as long as the Palestinian people approved it in a referendum. In such a scenario, he said Hamas would not oppose a Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza.
Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri in Gaza said Hamas’ readiness to put a peace deal to a referendum “does not mean that Hamas is going to accept the result of the referendum.”
OK, so Mr. Carter claims that Hamas will accept the agreement and Hamas says they reserve the right to reject the agreement ... on the same day. Who ya gonna believe?
And really, the entire point is moot....the Palestinians won’t vote to be a neighbor of Israel.
