Hamas will undergo ideological changes in the near future, according to Ahmed Youssuf, PA Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh's political adviser, Army Radio reported. In an interview with the London-based newspaper Asharq al-Awsat, Youssuf said that "diplomatic activity could achieve our demands, instead of armed resistance." He added that "Hamas will accept the establishment of a Palestinian state with the 1967 borders, with the implementation of the Right of Return, in exchange for a 10-year cease-fire with the option of an extension."
