An American official told Haaretz over the weekend that contrary to the
Bush administration, Obama does not oppose the inclusion of Hamas in a
Palestinian unity government. However, the United States insists on the
criteria set by the international Quartet - the U.S., EU, UN and Russia
- as preconditions for any diplomatic exchanges with Hamas. It insists
that the militant Islamic group cease violence, recognize Israel and
accept previously signed accords between Israel and the Palestine
Liberation Organization.
