term truce with Israel as long as the borders of Gaza are opened to the rest of the world. «We want to be part of the international community,» Hamas leader Ghazi Hamad told The Associated Press at the Gaza-Egypt border, where he was coordinating Arab aid shipments. «I think Hamas has no interest now to increase the number of crises in Gaza or to challenge the world.» But AP interviews with Hamad and two other Hamas leaders in the war-ravaged territory they rule suggest the group may be ready for some serious deal making. «We won this war,» said Hamas politician Mushir Al-Masri. «Why should we give in to pressure from anyone?» «We have our hands open to any country ... to open a dialogue without conditions,» he said _ clarifying that does not include Israel.
