> This is unprecedented: a third party, supposedly mediating for peace [the White House], that forbids two parties from talking to each other.
I'm not sure aboutthe authority the White House has over Hamas, Iran and Syria which is needed to forbid these parties to talk to Israel.
I'm also not sure what can Israel talk with these parties about for as long as they refuse to accept the right of Israel to EXIST.
Regarding the "important statements released by Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal in Syria" one should consider two simple facts:
1. Israel NEVER targets civilians. Israel will gain nothing from DELIBERATE attacks against civilians.
2. Hamas, on the other hand, can not and will not prevent other terrorist organizations from attacking Israeli civilians. Please recall that every murdered Israeli is a reason for a celebration in the Palestinian streets.

I'm not sure how the authors of this opus arrived to such bizarre conclusion consireding the number of Palestinian suicide attacks against Israeli SOLDIERS.
An agreement to not target civilians may be inteerpreted as meaning an end to Palestinian rockets launched from Gaza but, as I've explained above, Hamas can always say that these missiles were launched by other terrorists who incidentally were launching them from a middle of a civilian crowd...

News â;; The supreme leader of Hamas has promised that the militant group will end missile attacks and other violence against Israel, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said. "Hamas should use its authority to stop violence including missile attacks against Israel," Lavrov said after a meeting with Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal.
These "news" were published 444 days ago and they show perfectly what promises made by Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal are worth (those interested in this story may select the 'Hamas to end attacks on Israel' in the Related Stories section to the right).
