KHALID MISHAL, THE HEAD OF THE POLITICAL BUREAU OF HAMAS MOVEMENT, SAID THE PRICE ISRAEL SHOULD PAY IN RETURN OF PEACE IS ITS WITHDRAWAL FROM THE PALESTINIAN TERRITORIES. 'IF THE ISRAELI PREMIER IS KEEN ON PEACE, THEN HE SHOULD PAY THE PRICE OF PEACE, WHICH MEANS THE ISRAELI IMMEDIATE WITHDRAWAL FROM THE OCCUPIED TERRITORIES AND RECOGNITION OF THE PALESTINIAN LEGITIMATE RIGHTS', MISHAL SAID IN A STATEMENT TO PARIS-BASED L'FIGARO NEWSPAPER. 'IF ISRAEL WITHDRAWS FROM THE WEST BANK AND EAST JERUSALEM, AND RECOGNIZES THE RIGHT OF THE PALESTINIAN REFUGEES TO RETURN TO THEIR HOMELAND AND DISMANTLES THE NEW WALL, THEN I CAN SAY THAT ALL PALESTINIANS WILL BE READY TO TAKE SERIOUS STEPS BASED ON JUSTICE FOR REACHING PEACE WITH ISRAEL', HE SAID ADDING 'SO FAR I HAVE NEVER SEEN SUCH CONCESSIONS FROM THE SIDE OF ISRAEL.
