Mashaal: Hamas is no IS, will accept state based on '67 lines (TIMES OF ISRAEL, July 27, 2016)
Khaled Mashaal does not believe that Hamas is a terrorist organization, and would be prepared to accept a Palestinian state along the pre-1967 lines with Jerusalem as its capital and with the "right of return" for Palestinian refugees, he told India's English-language New Delhi Television (NDTV) station .Speaking from his home in Doha, Qatar in an interview aired on July 18, Mashaal stated that Hamas would accept a Palestinian state along 1967 borders."We are keen to unify the Palestinian front, the Arab front and attract the support of the world for our rights. And that's why we have agreed in consensus among us Palestinians on a national program that is supported by the Arabs on establishing a sovereign independent Palestinian state along the lines of the 1967 borders, with Jerusalem as the capital, with the right of return for the Palestinians in exile," he said, according to a translation provided by NDTV.
