You are aware that Hamas does say that settlement negotiations could start if Israel goes back to the pre-1967 borders (which is pretty much the borders envisaged by the UN in its 1948 resolutions setting up Israel and Palestine?
Yes, they did say as much. The speech by Ismail Haniyeh, head of the Hamas Political Bureau, on 7 October appears to encompass more, however, with references to 'our land'. The present stated objectives don't resemble the recognised two-state solution, as far as I can tell. I'd be happy to be proven wrong about that though!
Which two-state solution? The 1948 borders is, I think, a bottom line. UN resolutions in 1947and 1948 included full right of return, democratic process, and no religious discrimination.
A major problem with any resolution are the issues of returning the confiscated/taken property of the Palestinian refugees and what to do about the illegal settlements in the occupied lands.
What gets measured gets managed — even when it’s pointless to measure and manage it, and even if it harms the purpose of the organisation to do so
