Hamas Official: Palestinian Statehood Would End War

As the war between Israel and Hamas drags into its sixth month, some Hamas officials have indicated a willingness to lay down their arms in exchange for a Palestinian state.

Speaking to CNN on Thursday, Basem Naim, a member of Hamas’ political bureau based in Istanbul, said that the group would disarm if an independent Palestinian state was established on lands Israel captured during the 1967 Mideast war.

“If an independent state with its capital in Jerusalem, while preserving the right of return for refugees, (is created) Al Qassam could be integrated into (a future) national army,” Naim said.
