If he surrenders - the Constitution calls for the annihilation of Israel and the development of radical Islam throughout the region - if they get rid of it, yes I would consider" dialogue with a new Palestinian administration. "If they stop firing rockets or importing rockets to launch them on our cities, if they stop terrorist acts, if they stop calling for our eradication, yes, of course we will be happy talk with them.
(...) But the fact is that Hamas has not stopped being Hamas. He continues to call our liquidation, "said Netanyahu. The Israeli prime minister has said Israel would not negotiate with an administration that understands palestinian Hamas. "What I negotiate with them? How to behead us? How to exterminate us? Of course not," he stressed.
Mahmoud Abbas, Palestinian Authority president, said he was ready on Wednesday "to go to Gaza tomorrow to end the division and form a government independent national personalities (...) to prepare for presidential, legislative and Council within six months.
