Remember, as a political movement that has previously carried out terrorist attacks, if one of their group, even a splinter acts in a way that contravenes the geneva convention and a state leader condones or celebrates it, they can face claims of war crimes in the Hague.
This should effectively disassociate Hamas as a political party from overt backing of any terrorist action and thus make it appear to their supporters that they are taking a more peaceful approach.
