I'm Predicting:

Syria is calling on Hamas to recognize Israel.
That is odd.
Syria does not recognize Israel.

Syria does have credibility with Hamas and it is on the basis of that credibility that the request to recognize Israel is being made. Taking it a step further, Syria even wants Hamas to accept the Saudi Peace Plan.
The thinking is that if Hamas accepts the Plan a lot of the pressure being brought upon the entire Arab world, Syria included, will be relieved.

Syria is trying to instruct Hamas in the Lessons of Leadership.
There is a distinction between ideas and reality, a difference between ideology and statehood.
The practical reality of management requires adopting ideas and adapting visions to best meet new conditions of power and leadership.

These ideas are truly awesome.
Too bad, but Hamas will ever be ready to hear them. Never, not ever.
