The only way forward, for the time being, is to engage in informal, exploratory conversations, perhaps “below the radar.” A comparable process resulted in the Oslo Accords in 1992 and 1993 – which is not to say that Hamas now is simply equivalent to the Palestine Liberation Organization then. Likewise, communications similar to the Geneva Initiative of 2003 which resulted in the entirely hypothetical and unauthorized “Geneva Accord” – independent of any government – could be constructive in these circumstances.
