The 2017 Hamas charter is openly available on the Internet, and it says it still doesn’t recognise Israel as a state and strive for “complete liberation of Palestine, from the river to the sea.” This is not really a two-state solution. Two states recognise each other’s right to exist if this is indeed a two state solution.
They’ve pretty explicitly been aiming for a Palestinian state in the territories occupied since 1967. And not just recently, proposals for a permanent ceasefire (which sets the first steps towards recognition and normalization of relations) with Israel under these conditions go back to 1999. Conveniently, both Israel and the US didn’t find it necessary to respond.

Hamas stated “from the river to the sea” in that charter you yourself mentioned. That could not be any more ambiguous.

Hamas still doesn’t recognise Israel, do they?

From the article you linked:
Exactly the point. Both sides need to recognise each other. This isn’t a sports competition. It doesn’t require a PhD to figure that one out.
