Q There's a report that the Obama administration intends to engage in low-level talks with Hamas. Looking at the situation in Gaza now, do you think that that's something that perhaps you should have done?MR. STANZEL: Our policy has been clear, in terms of not dealing with Hamas. Hamas is a terrorist organization that took over the Gaza -- Gaza in -- about 18 months ago. So our position has been clear.
As you've heard from the State Department, in terms of the actions that the world community has taken, obviously Egypt has been working with Israel in terms of trying to get to a durable and sustainable cease-fire. And that is a process that we have supported. But our position has not changed.
For the life of me, I can’t figure out what you post has to do with this thread.
