Michael Oren: “Qatar is the godfather of Hamas. Qatar hosts some of the leading figures in Hamas.”

Terrorist organizations do not negotiate in good faith. They move the football. They will play with the emotions of Israelis. They'll torture Israelis. It's part of their terror. It's actually part of their strategy.

You have Mahmoud Abbas. He is the president for the Palestinian authority. He's in the 18th year of his four-year term, all right? He will not stand for re-election because he knows if he does, he's going to lose to Hamas.

And if we restore Hamas rule in Gaza, the whole process is just going to start again.

What they're really saying is, either he should step down or he should say 'I will accept responsibility' which is code in Israel for, after this, I will step down.
