There will be peace when Abbas forceable overtake hamas in gaza and take back gaza. You cannot negotiate peace when half of the other side will do anythign they can to kill you. Hamas is not interested in peace. Its questionable is Abbas wants peace. Couple the questionable part and the Hamas part and you answer the question.

As long as Hamas is given free reign in gaza, as long as Abbas complains when Israel is doing the job he should do by killing Hamas, as long as weapons and exposivies are smuggled into gaza, there will be no peace. Israel has every right to kill terrorists that will jump at the chance of kiling an israeli.

Just imagine if Abbas was forced to negotitate peace with Kadima and Likud verbally says any deal with Kadima will be ignored. Substitute verbally with firing rockets at civilans areas and you have the exact thing isreal is facing when it is being forced to negotiate with Abbas while Hamas and other terrorists in gaza daily attack israeli civilans.
