Hamas leader: Israel must make first move Posted on : Wed, 28 Feb 2007 05:52:00 GMT | Author : World News Editor MOSCOW, Feb. 28 Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal, during a visit to Russia, said the group will not recognize Israel until it withdraws from the Palestinian territories. When it does, the Palestinian people will clearly present their position, he said. Meshaal told reporters at a news conference that Hamas is ready to exchange Israeli Cpl. Gilead Shalit for Palestinian prisoners, the Novosti news agency reported. We will specify how many, he said. Earlier, Meshaal met with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. Lavrov said that Russia plans to lobby for international humanitarian aid to the Palestinians. Meshaal, the political leader of Hamas, lives in exile in Syria. Hamas and rival Fatah recently formed a unity government. But because the compact does not include recognition of Israel or an agreement to abstain from violence, Israel and the United States have refused to lift sanctions.
