Former PA Security Chief In Gaza Muhammad Dahlan: We Never Asked Hamas To Recognize Israel Since Fatah Has Never Recognized Israel Either

The following is an excerpt from an interview with Muhammad Dahlan, former PA security chief in Gaza, which aired on Al-Arabiya TV on August 4, 2009:

"First of all, the store of lies told by Hamas officials is a bottomless pit. No one raised the issue of recognizing Israel or any other political issue in any previous meeting. I have said openly that Fatah itself did not recognize Israel, but that it was the PLO that recognized Israel. Therefore, we did not and will not demand that Hamas as a political, or fascist, movement recognize Israel or not. This is Hamas’s business, since the Fatah movement did not recognize Israel either."
