According to the website of the International Middle East Media Center (IMEMC), Hamas has agreed to recognise Israel’s existence.
In part the article (24/2/2009) says:
The U.S has boycotted Hamas since the latter won parliamentary elections in 2006, until the Islamist group recognizes Israel, renounces resistance against the Israeli occupation and accepts previously-signed peace agreements with Israel. Hamas has since agreed to recognize Israel based on pre-1967 borders, and has also agreed to a two-state solution, supported by the Arabs 22, as well as the vast majority of the international community, but despite this, the U.S has yet to lift its boycott.
IMEMC About us page says is is a media center developed in collaboration between Palestinian and International journalists to provide independent media coverage of Israel-Palestine.
