Hamas accepts 2-state solution

Ismail Haniya, leader of Hamas, said he would be prepared to accept a Palestinian state on the 1967 border. He said:

'We are pushing towards the dream of having our independent state with Jerusalem as its capital.'

'If there is a real project that aims at resolving the Palestinian cause on establishing a Palestinian state on 1967 borders, under full Palestinian sovereignty, we will support it,' he continued.

He made this announcement as Jimmy Carter was visiting Gaza.
