However, Ahmed Yusef, an adviser to Ismail Haniyeh, prime minister of the Palestinian Authority (PA), said in a newspaper interview that the matter of peace must be settled by future generations.
"If we reach a long-term hudna [cease-fire] agreement, the future will show whether Israel wants to live in peace with the Palestinians. We do not plan to recognize Israel, since in any case it does not recognize the agreements it has signed," he told Ha'aretz.
