Palestine has set a condition to end the conflict with Israel

The Arab-Israeli conflicts will continue until the Palestinians get their independent state, the capital of which is Jerusalem, Mahmoud al-Habbash, adviser to the Palestinian leader, told RIA Novosti. "If the occupation is not ended in accordance with international law, and if the Palestinian people do not receive their full national rights, including the right to self-determination and the right to establish a state with Jerusalem as its capital, the conflicts will continue," al-Habbash said. According to Abbas' adviser, "the priority of the Palestinian leadership at the moment is to stop the aggression against the Gaza Strip in order to stop the bloodshed of the residents of the enclave", as well as "to start political negotiations that will lead to the end of the occupation as such". "Ultimately, this phase (of the confrontation between Israel and Hamas) will end, whatever the outcome. But if the occupation continues, we will have to wait for another round, and probably other confrontations, which may be more violent, because as I said, the problem is the existence of the occupation," he said.
