They shouldn't have to accept anything less than Statehood.
If what Israel brings to the table "we'll stop committing war crimes if you X", then they haven't brought anything to the table.
You can't bargen on stopping genocide. It doesn't work like that.
Hamas' idea of statehood is a global Islamic caliphate, according to their own words. For obvious reasons, this won't ever be on the table.
I mean Statehood for Palestine. There will never be peace until Israel stops occupying and invading their neighbors
Uhh you might want to provide a link for that bc their 2017 policy document says very, very differently.
Tons of examples here, including several that are newer than from 2017:

Yes, I'm aware that Memri has a pro-Israel bias (to say the least), but all of these examples are literally from the horse's mouth, just collected in one place here.
By the way, I hope you are not naive enough to believe in the milder language of that 2017 charter. Among other things, it claims that Hamas believes in pluralism and democracy. That's obviously a lie and so are most of the rest of the revised points.
Maybe Netanyahu should have thought about that before he funded Hamas.
