'If Israel recognizes our rights and pledges to withdraw from all occupied lands, Hamas, and the Palestinian people together with it, will decide to halt armed resistance,' the radical Islamist group's supremo Khaled Meshaal said.
In earler statements Meshal had only said that Hamas could agree to a 'long-term truce' with Israel if it were willing to return to the 1967 borders and recognise the rights of Palestinians to self-determination.
However, Meshal added, in his latest comments, that Hamas did not feel bound by the international Middle-East roadmap for peace since, in his view, no one else was abiding by it.
Hamas won a surprise victory in the Jan 25 parliamentary elections in the Palestinian Territories.
