Hamas officials say group willing to disarm if Palestinian state is established

Some Hamas officials are signalling that the militant group could give up armed struggle against Israel if the Palestinians get an independent state in territories captured by Israel in the 1967 war.
 
The messaging suggests a softening of Hamas' position as its fate hangs in the balance with Israel's pummelling of the Gaza Strip.
 
Hamas had control of the Gaza Strip before the war.
 
The Palestinian militant group has long called for the Jewish state to be destroyed.
