Moscow expects Hamas to announce recognition of Israel
By Haaretz Service and agencies
MOSCOW - A senior Russian diplomat said Sunday that Moscow expects Hamas to
make a clear pledge to recognize Israel, a news agency reported. The
announcement came as Hamas's prime minister-designate Sunday denied he had
suggested the Palestinian Islamist group might one day recognize Israel.
Alexander Kalugin, the Russian Foreign Ministry's special envoy to the Middle
East, said that Hamas should outline approaches to recognition of Israel in its
action plan. "The main thing is that they should clearly speak on the issue of
recognizing the state of Israel," Kalugin said, according to the Interfax news
agency.
Hamas leader Khaled Meshal will head a delegation set to arrive in Moscow on
March 3, the Islamic militant group said in a statement posted on its Web site
Friday. Kalugin said that the Hamas delegation is expected to arrive in Moscow
"at the end of the first week of March."
Haniyeh denies Washington Post quotes
Hamas's prime minister-designate Sunday denied he had suggested the Palestinian
Islamist group might one day recognize Israel, saying there was only a
possibility of achieving a long-term truce.
The Washington Post quoted Ismail Haniyeh as saying in an interview: "If Israel
declares that it will give the Palestinian people a state and give them back
all their rights, then we are ready to recognize them."
But Haniyeh told reporters in Gaza that he "did not tackle the issue of
recognizing (Israel) in my interview with the Washington Post".
At the weekend, Haniyeh was quoted as saying Hamas is "ready to recognize"
Israel if it gives the Palestinian people their full rights and a state in
lands occupied since 1967, including the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
Hamas hopes to complete forming a Palestinian government within two weeks.
"If Israel declares that it will give the Palestinian people a state and give
them back all their rights, then we are ready to recognize them," the Post
quoted him in an interview posted on its Web site on Saturday.
Haniyeh did not say what form the recognition would take.
Haniyeh was also quoted as saying Hamas, whose charter calls for Israel's
destruction, was ready to consider talks with Israel if the Jewish state
withdrew from the West Bank and East Jerusalem and recognized the "right of
return" for Palestinian refugees who fled in the 1948 war and their descendants.
Mofaz: Hamas is trying to sweet-talk
"Hamas is trying to mislead the international community, to sweet-talk it and
to exhibit an appearance of responsibility," Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz told
U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs C. David Welch on
Sunday.
Mofaz was referring to the statements attributed to Haniyeh. "The simple fact
is that they have not accepted any of the four rules, and this indicates their
true intentions," Mofaz told Welch.
Mofaz was referring to the four conditions dictated by the Quartet to the
Hamas: disarming, recognizing Israel, rejecting terror and changing the
organization's charter.
Mofaz warned that Hamas' recent contacts with Iran may formalize Iran's control
of the Palestinian Authority.
Regarding aid to the PA, Mofaz said that Israel would not take any steps that
could harm the Palestinian population. "The correct mechanism is to examine
each case separately, and to transfer funds only after a comprehensive
examination," he said.
Welch is to meet Acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert later Sunday to discuss
American and Israeli policy regarding overtures and aid to a prospective
Palestinian government led by Hamas.
The sides are expected to agree on a "Hamas bypass route" which will allow
Washington to channel aid funds directly to humanitarian organizations in the
territories, or to Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, rather than to
a Hamas-led Palestinian government, Army Radio reported Sunday.
