Haniyeh says he will accept Palestinian state on '67 borders in exchange for 10 year truce

Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh said Saturday that his Hamas group would be willing to accept a temporary Palestinian state in the West Bank, Gaza and east Jerusalem in exchange for a 10-year

truce with Israel.

His comments, reiterating Hamas policy, came as Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas was to meet Hamas' supreme leader Khaled Mashaal in Syria to discuss ways to form a coalition government and end international sanctions on the Palestinians. (AP)
