Indeed, Hamas is convinced that any success for Abbas and the Palestinian Authority will further discredit its rule and increase its isolation in besieged Gaza. Hamas’s support for Palestinian statehood within the 1967 borders would convey at least indirect recognition of Israel.
事实上，哈马斯认定，阿巴斯和巴勒斯坦权力机构的任何成功都会进一步破坏其规则的名誉，同时进一步增加深陷重围的加沙的孤立。哈马斯若支持巴勒斯坦按1967年边境线建国，则至少是间接地承认了以色列。但哈马斯仍然拒绝在领土问题上让步，坚持整个历史上的巴勒斯坦都必须由伊斯兰教统治。
