Weren't you in a unity government with Hamas?

I don't want to return to the national unity government because it was a very bad experience, and they destroyed it.

No unity government under any circumstances?

Under any circumstances.

How much Iranian influence is there now in Gaza?

I don't like to take this question because we want to preserve our relations with everybody, even the Iranians.

Do you like the idea of the meeting in Washington, the November meeting?

Yes.

What can come out of it?

The framework. It should be agreed upon before the 15th of November.

And then at the conference, it will be given a kind of international stamp of approval?

Not approval but acceptance. They will say, "Okay, you reached this conclusion, go ahead, continue negotiations between you and the Israelis in order to finalize all the details."
