""I think over time, Hamas will have to change because by not changing they are damaging prospects for Palestinian peace," said Gheit"
This is nonsense. Israel has allowed zero chance for peace so that they may continue west bank expansion. Since you cannot have less than zero chance, Hamas cannot damage the chance for peace no matter what they do.
"Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has balked at the scope of the prisoner release roster."
This is where we were 18 months ago and Hamas has not budged. Olmert can either pay the asking price or not, but he cannot bargain for Shalit as if he were an over ripe melon which must be sold today. Olmert would love a discount price to save face, but not this time. |
