Many EU countries are talking to Hamas. Even though the US State Department is against such contacts. Israel must decide alone, whether to continue talking or ultimately take on Hamas in a military fashion. Keeping mum is the correct form.The on and off threats of invasion only give the Hamas Government prestige amongst the Palestinian populace and Arab World in general.
