The comments by Khalil al-Hayya came amid a stalemate in months of cease-fire talks. But it's unlikely Israel would consider such a scenario.

A top Hamas political official told The Associated Press the Islamic militant group is willing to agree to a truce of five years or more with Israel and that it would lay down its weapons and convert into a political party if an independent Palestinian state is established along pre-1967 borders.

    Did they not take away the Palestinian right to elections back in 2006?

    Which is why I asked about elections and opposition parties.

    If you want to argue that Hamas has liberalized in the last 19 years,

    No.

    or even the last 6 months,

    No.

    but I am growing bored of the rhetoric I am currently being given.

    You are being given no rhetoric. I was asking a question.
