MEMRI TV: Hamas Representative: There is a Beginning of European Understanding towards the Armed Resistance - 'The Europeans totally understand that the failure of the political settlement, and the political activities, from the Madrid Conference to this day, is a weak point in this process in the European discourse. Therefore, there is the beginning of a European understanding towards the armed resistance and the nature of its role. I'd like to make it clear that [Hamas's] contacts with the Europeans began over five years ago, and have never ceased, even though Hamas was put on the list of terrorist organizations. What is new is that some of these meetings are now out in the open. Some of these meetings were at our request, and others were initiated by European countries and elements.' (Link)
