Mash'al: I Do Not Accept the Two-State Solution

According to a report on the website www.paltoday.com, Hamas Political Bureau Head Khaled Mash'al has denied accepting a two-state solution, and has stated that his movement, as well as the other Palestinian factions, agree to the establishment of a sovereign Palestinian state in the 1967 borders, with Jerusalem as its capital, which will have full control of its border crossings with the neighboring countries.

The daily Al-Quds has quoted Mash'al as saying that resistance is the legitimate right of the Palestinian people and Hamas' strategic choice in liberating the land and restoring the rights, and that nobody will prevent Hamas from arming itself.
