| State urges Carter not to meet Hamas |
| 2008-04-11 |
| The US State Department says it has advised Jimmy Carter against meeting with Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal during his visit to Syria. The State Department told the former US president in late March not to meet any officials from Hamas, because the Washington considers the Palestinian movement a “terrorist group,” State Department spokesman Sean McCormack told reporters on Thursday. The State Department will help Carter with arrangements if he visits Syria but "will not participate in the planning or scheduling of any meetings with Hamas figures in Damascus," McCormack said. |
