以色列说，除非几项要求得到满足，否则不会与激进组织哈马斯参加的巴勒斯坦政府对话。
以色列总理内塔尼亚胡的办公室星期二发表声明说：“以色列政府将不会与依靠哈马斯的巴勒斯坦政府进行政治谈判。哈马斯是一个要摧毁以色列的恐怖组织。”
声明提出了几项对话前必须满足的条件，包括哈马斯解除武装，宣称放弃暴力，以及承认以色列。
内塔尼亚胡还要求哈马斯放弃伊朗的支持，交还两名以色列军人的遗体，并释放据信被关押在哈马斯控制的加沙地带的两名以色列公民。
哈马斯几乎没有可能答应以色列提出的任何条件。哈马斯发言人称这些条件“是不可接受的以色列对巴勒斯坦事务的干涉”。
巴勒斯坦权力机构主席阿巴斯的发言人说：“任何以色列的言辞都不会改变巴勒斯坦努力走向和解的正式立场。消除分裂是我们人民的希望与理想。”
哈马斯和更温和的法塔赫运动经过10年分裂后，达成了一项重新团结的初步协议。
Israel says it will not talk with a Palestinian government that includes the militant group Hamas unless a number of demands are met.
“The government of Israel will not carry out political negotiations with a Palestinian government that relies on Hamas, a terror organization which calls for the destruction of Israel,” a statement from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office Tuesday.
The statement spelled several conditions if there are ever to be talks. They include Hamas’ disarmament, its repudiation of violence, and recognition of Israel.
Netanyahu also wants Hamas to give up Iranian support and return the remains of two Israeli soldiers and free two Israeli citizens believed to be held in Hamas-controlled Gaza.
There is little chance Hamas will agree to any of Israel’s demands. Spokesman Fawzi Barhoum called them “unacceptable Israeli interference in internal Palestinian affairs.”
A spokesman for Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said “any Israeli remarks will not change the official Palestinian position to move forward with the reconciliation efforts to achieve the hopes and aspirations of our people in ending the division.”
Hamas and the more moderate Fatah movement reached a preliminary agreement last week to re-unify after a 10-year split.
