PM: PA can have peace with Hamas or with Israel, not both

Responding to news that rival Palestinian factions Fatah and Hamas reached a reconciliation agreement in Cairo on Wednesday, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said that the Palestinian Authority must decide whether it wants peace with Hamas or if it wants peace with Israel.
They cannot have both, Netanyahu said.
The prime minister noted that the Hamas charter calls for the destruction of Israel and that he cannot tolerate a situation like that which exists in Gaza - with missiles, rockets and mortars fired into Israeli territory - to enter the West Bank.
