Hamas acknowledges the existence of Israel as a reality but formal recognition will only be considered when a Palestinian state has been created, the movement's exiled leader Khaled Meshaal said on Wednesday
Softening a previous refusal to accept the Jewish state's existence, Meshaal said Israel was a "matter of fact" and a reality that will persist.
"There will remain a state called Israel," Meshaal said in an interview in the Syrian capital, in what appeared to be clearest statement yet by the Islamist group on its attitude toward the state it previously said had no right to exist.
"The problem is not that there is an entity called Israel," said Meshaal, who survived an Israeli assassination attempt in 1997. "The problem is that the Palestinian state is non-existent."

I'm sure that's not enough for the Zionists and their supporters here, but why not?

So the people who lived in Palestine weren't really Palestinians? Who were?

Straw man to say the least .... calling this a lie is more appropiate.
Marauder: " .... sooner or later Israel will have to make a deal."
Sure .. and it will be on the basis of the Roadmap.
