hamas signed an agreement on a two state solution in the area which implies that they recognize israel. If asked, they will say that they don't recognize israel in occupied areas, including palestine, namely: The west bank, Gaza, and the Golan hights. The borders drawn up in the 60's are now officially recognized by hamas though. Hezbollah does not recognize israel, but then again, neither does Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and many more official states, so Hezbollah is just following suite.

NO, they never have and never will. The entire purpose of these organizations is "to drive Israel into the sea." This is their policy and they won't change it until ALL of Israel's land is turned over to the Arabs who originally owned the land.
When the UN created the nation of Israel, after WWII, it was to ease their conscience after the horrible treatment of the Jews at the hand of Hitler. A lot of the Allies had refused the refuge Jews trying to flee Hitler. So they carved out a homeland for the Jews. It wouldn’t have mattered if oil hadn’t been found in the region. Now the oil profits fund the war against Israel. The cycle of hatred continues because the actual authors of the war are Syria and Iran who are funding the terrorists. That’s why Israel targeted the banks that were supporting Hezbollah and Hamas last week.

No they don't. Neither does Syria and Iran. Which is why there is still no peace between Israel and the Palestinians, and why there is still no Palestinian state. Israel has no problem coexisting with a Palestinian state next to it. The problem is this. A resolution to the Israeli/Palestinian conflict means only one thing to the Militant Islamic groups and their sponsoring States; an end to the reason to attack Israel. These groups use the plight of the Palestinians as their reason for their goal, which is the destruction of Israel. Is it any wonder that Yasser Arafat rejected the deal back when Clinton was president and Ehud Barak was PM of Israel. It was a sweet deal for the Palestinians. Arafat had no choice but to reject it as he was likely pressured by external forces (Syria, Iran, Hamas militant groups), because the creation of the Palestinian state alongside Israel, and a new peace between the two would undermine that goal to destroy Israel.

For Hezbollah it's an easy "no". They view it that their only purpose for existence is to get rid of the Zionist regime. Most people who follow that ideology are also willing to die for the cause.
For Hammas, it's a bit more complicated than yes or no. Officially, they have said that IF Israel gives up the west bank, and a part of Jerusalem, they're willing to agree to boundaries. But Israel will never give up ALL of west bank and even a square inch of Jerusalem, so you can question whether Hammas is serious about those conditions, or is just saying them while knowing that they'll never actually happen (to make them look like they're willing to compromise).

Is there any reason why they should? By my understanding of history, which may be in error, Jewish refugees used emotional blackmail immediately after the WW2 to create for themselves a soveriegn nation in somebody elses country.There has been trouble over there ever since.Don't lets forget that this recent episode was prompted by the kidnapping of a couple of Israeli soldiers,if Britain had responded in similar fashion to the behaviour of the IRA the troubles over there would still be continuing.

Not officially; but Hamas did recognize some of the Palestinian Authorities signed agreements which is tantamount to acceptance of the Israeli state; but if you ask them for such a resolution to that specific item - they'll say no.
Sad thing is if they stopped fighting, laid down their weapons, the war would be over; but if Israel did that - they'd be slaughtered.

To date no...but just before "Humus" kidnapped the Israeli solider there was a plan to do so. (was a plan to end the US sanctions which were truly hurting their economy)
Hez-ebola has never made such steps.

No read the Hamas charter. I just put Hamas in to google and read the charter. They are out to destroy Israel.
