The comments by Khalil al-Hayya came amid a stalemate in months of cease-fire talks. But it's unlikely Israel would consider such a scenario.

A top Hamas political official told The Associated Press the Islamic militant group is willing to agree to a truce of five years or more with Israel and that it would lay down its weapons and convert into a political party if an independent Palestinian state is established along pre-1967 borders.

    Hamas exists because it and Islamic Jihad are the militant wings of The Muslim Brotherhood, a group founded in WWII as unit of the Waffen-SS Afrikakorp.

    Their goal was and always has been the death of every single Jew on the planet.

      Holy misinformation batman.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim_Brotherhood

      Hassan al-Banna founded the Muslim Brotherhood in the city of Ismailia in March 1928 along with six workers of the Suez Canal Company, as a Pan-Islamic, religious, political, and social movement.

      They were opposed to colonialism, both in the form of British occupation and the threat of Zionism - the direct result of which we’re seeing today.

      They did side with the axis powers in WW2, but we’ve seen that elsewhere: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_National_Army - the logic being that the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

      Also,

      al-Banna and other members of the Brotherhood voiced admiration for aspects of Nazi ideology, including its militarism and its centralization revolving around a charismatic leader but opposed others like its racial policies and ethnic nationalism.

      At this point we can’t say the same about Israel given it is entirely founded on ethnic nationalism.
