Former Palestinian FM: Hamas, Israel reached declaration of intent
Former Palestinian Foreign Minister Mahmoud al-Zahar confirmed Tuesday that the so called “Swiss Document”, allowing for certain agreed-upon principles that would allow negotiations between Israel and the Hamas, in fact exists.
Al-Zahar, maintained, however, that this document was not the result of direct negotiations between Israel and Hamas, but rather “these are ideas passed on to us by the Swiss, and which Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh then handed over to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas".
