"right of return" (Palestinian)
Yes … ultimately, Hamas want the return of refugees to their villages …
since there about five million such refugees, that would bring an end to Israel as a separate state …
virtually the whole international community is opposed to this, and it is the primary reason why Israel sees no point in negotiating with Hamas …
Hamas' ultimate aim is the destruction of Israel.
There is no way of achieving peace between two neighbours when one wants to destroy the other (the other only wanting to live side-by-side in peace in the internationally supported "two-state solution").
Egypt, like Jordan, has made peace with Israel.
Egypt hates Hamas.

Ismail Haniyeh said:...
Ultimately, the Palestinians are a people struggling for freedom from occupation and the establishment of an independent state with Jerusalem as its capital and the return of refugees to their villages from which they were expelled. Whatever the cost, the continuation of Israel's massacres will neither break our will nor our aspiration for freedom and independence.
