GAZA, Nov 14 (Reuters) - The governing Islamic militant group Hamas said on Tuesday the agenda of a proposed unity government would not recognise Israel or accept a two-state solution for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

"We reject the two-state solution, which is the vision of U.S. President George Bush, because it represents a clear recognition of Israel," Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum told Reuters. "Our position in this regard remains unchanged. We reject joining in any government that recognises Israel."

Left-wing activists place a sign in front of Israeli troops during a demonstration against Israel's shelling in Beit Hanoun, at the Qalandiya checkpoint near the West Bank city of Ramallah November 19, 2006. Israel has been under pressure to avoid civilian casualties after an artillery shell killed 19 people, all non-combatants, in the northern Gaza town of Beit Hanoun on November 8. Israel apologised for the civilian deaths and said a technical fault caused a targeting error.
