Certain parts of it:

ON ISRAEL:

In August 2006, on his first visit abroad as prime minister to Iran, Haniyeh said: "We will never recognize the usurper Zionist government and will continue our jihad-like movement until the liberation of Jerusalem". In December 2010, Haniyeh stated at a news conference in Gaza, "We accept a Palestinian state on the borders of 1967, with Jerusalem as its capital, the release of Palestinian prisoners, and the resolution of the issue of refugees." In addition, he said that if the Palestinian electorate approves such a peace agreement with Israel, his government will abide by it notwithstanding previous Hamas positions on the issue.

On 23 March 2014, during a festival commemorating the tenth anniversary of the assassination of Sheik Ahmad Yassin, Haniyeh delivered a speech to a crowd of Hamas supporters, saying "From within Gaza, I repeat again and again: We will not recognize Israel... The Gaza blockade is unfortunately getting tighter and tighter." During this speech, the crowd chanted "Move forward Hamas, move! We are the cannon and you are the bullets. … Oh Qassam, our beloved, bombard Tel Aviv."

ON OSAMA BIN LADEN

On 2 May 2011, Osama bin Laden was killed by US forces, and the killing was praised by Hamas's rival Fatah. Haniyeh instead referred to bin Laden as an "Arab holy warrior" and condemned his killing as "the continuation of the American oppression and shedding of blood of Muslims and Arabs". Political analysts said the remarks were an attempt to cool differences in the Gaza Strip with Al-Qaeda-inspired Salafi groups, which condemn Hamas as too moderate. Another analyst wrote that Haniyeh's statement was directed at an Arab audience, and he saw an opportunity to distinguish Hamas from Fatah and exploit anti-American sentiment. The United States government condemned his remarks as "outrageous"

BTW, this prick lives in Qatar.

This is what the world wants Israel to negotiate with? I wouldn't ever.

1. If ICC indicts Bibi, this person along with other Hamas leaders should also be indicted for Oct 7th

And probably 100's of lesser scope terrorist incidents against Israelis and others besides October 7th. I think while Bibi et. al. wanting to eradicate Hamas is understandable, it seems clear that as long as we allow Iran to keep funding terrorists there will just be a Hamas 2.0. Sadly, while Israel is rooting out Hamas, the collateral damage among innocent civilians is likely spawning many new angry Palestinians who now hate Israel and Israelis to be foot soldiers in the next iteration. And Qatar and others giving terrorist leadership safe haven is incredibly unhelpful.
