Palestinians: Carter's Hamas Meeting Achieved Nothing

Jimmy Carter—not just disgraceful, but an impotent joke: Carter-Hamas meeting achieved nothing: Palestinians.

Last week’s meeting between former US president Jimmy Carter and the exiled leader of Hamas militants did not produce any results, Palestinian foreign minister Riyad al-Malki said here Wednesday.

“President Carter came to the region thinking he could achieve something. Unfortunately president Carter left without anything concrete,” he told a conference in the Spanish capital.

“The only thing he achieved was permission on the part of Khaled Meshaal of Hamas to deliver a letter from a detained Israeli soldier to his family. Nothing else,” he said.

“Hamas offered nothing to president Carter. They reiterated the same positions. There was no change on the part of Hamas,” Malki added.

Imagine how the Hamas goons laughed once Carter was out of the room.
