"Obama says he will turn a new page in the region and begin a dialogue with the Iranians and with the Syrians unconditionally," Meshaal told the pan-Arab daily Asharq al-Awsat. "If so, why is he placing conditions on Hamas?"
Meshaal said Obama's "concept of a Palestinian state remains vague given that he did not specifically mention the issue of territory, borders, the capital, the right of return, and a timetable for the state's establishment."
"These are essential points," Meshaal told the Asharq al-Awsat.
"We have come to a difficult period," he told the London-based newspaper. "This is not an easy time. Our rights have been violated. We will present our vision."
The pan-Arab daily Al Quds al-Arabi reported on Tuesday that Meshal plans to present his own policy speech after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lays out his long-awaited diplomatic vision with an address at Ramat Gan's Bar-Ilan University.
At a press conference given at the end of Palestinian crisis talks in Egypt, Meshaal also said Hamas will not obstruct any political movement towards establishing a Palestinian state on 1967 borders.
