Rhetoric aside, Hamas’s opposition to direct talks with Israel is intended to make clear to the US that Hamas is central to the political reality of the region and cannot be ignored. If Hamas is not part of the process, there will be no process.
撇开所有的政治宣传，哈马斯反对直接谈判的举措其实是想告诉美国：哈马斯才是该区域无法回避的政治现实。如果哈马斯不能参与和平进程的话，那么一切进程都是空话。
