Other Hamas leaders, including Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh, have not ruled out over the past few weeks the possibility of negotiating with Israel or recognizing its right to exist.
"I dream of hanging a huge map of the world on the wall at my Gaza home which does not show Israel on it," Zahar said in the interview. "I hope that our dream to have our independent state on all historic Palestine (will materialize)." This dream, he added, "will become real one day. I'm certain of this because there is no place for the state of Israel on this land."
However, Zahar, who is the overall leader of Hamas in the Gaza Strip, said he didn't rule out the possibility of having Jews, Muslims and Christians living under the sovereignty of an Islamic state, adding that the Palestinians never hated the Jews and that only the Israeli occupation was their enemy.
The only thing that can be said for Zahar’s dream is that it is a refreshing change for Palestinian government official to findly openly admit to his true aspirations, though, it still irritates that Zahar and his ink never discuss the Jordanian or Egyptian occupation of the alleged “Palestinian” land? Are we to conclude that only a “muslim” groups are capable of righteous and just occupations?
