Expressing one's willingness to seek peace is quite different from one's agreeing to a treaty ahead of negotiations. To date, Hamas has not made any indication that it would negotiate peace. It has demanded substantial concrete concessions e.g., 1967 boundaries, but only in exchange for a temporary truce.
Is there documentary evidence of this?
Isn't a truce (temporary or not) and starting to talk a good place to begin. As I recall, the UK Government started from this point with the Republican movement and before you say it, The Republican movement started out with the position that a united Ireland and ceding of the NI territories was a default position.
