Hamas: No Long-Term Truce With Israel

A Senior Hamas official said on Sunday that the terrorist organization will not implement a long-term truce with Israel for the time being. The Hamas long-term truce offer was first made by the organization's late spiritual advisor, Ahmed Yassin, who suggested that Hamas undertake a 20-year-long ceasefire, without recognizing Israel's right to exist, in return for an Israeli withdrawal from lands captured in the 1967 Six-Day war. 11/10/08
